Find required stiffness of inner spring


Two equal-length springs are nested together in order to form a shock absorber. If it is designed to arrest the motion of a 2kg. mass that is dropped s=.5m above the top of the springs from an at-rest position, and the maximum compression of the springs is to be .2m., determine the required stiffness of the inner spring kb, if the outer spring has a stiffness ka=400N/m.
