At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
And the total energy of the system is
Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
And the total energy is
For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore
. So we can write
that we can solve to find an expression for v:

Answer:
The pressure after passing the valve is 23,8 [Kpa] ( 0,234 atm) and the pressure drop is about 1,53 [Kpa]
Explanation:
We need to use the formula of bernoulli, in the attached image we can see the fluid throw the pipe, we also can calculate the velocity inside the pipe using the flow rate and the cross sectional area.
For this case, we don't use the elevation difference and therefore those terms can be cancelled.
When the area has reduced the velocity of the fluid is increased but there is a drop pressure through the valve.
