Two blocks of masses $5 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ are connected by a spring of negligible mass and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. An impulse provides a velocity of $7 \, m/s$ to the heavier block in the direction of the lighter block. The velocity of the centre of mass is ............ $m/s$.

$A$ block of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block and the man are resting on a rough plank of mass $2M$ as shown in the figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. The pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the plank when the block meets the pulley? (The man does not leave his position on the plank during the pull).
