Two blocks, each of mass 1.5 kg, are attached to links which are pin-connected to bar BC

Question:

Two blocks, each of mass 1.5 kg, are attached to links which are pin-connected to bar BC as shown. The masses of the links and bar are negligible, and the blocks can slide without friction. Block D is attached to a spring of constant k = 720N/m. Knowing that block A is at rest when it is struck horizontally with a mallet and given an initial velocity of 250 mm/s determine the magnitude of the maximum displacement of block D during the resulting motion.
