As we discussed in concept

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 +\frac{1}{2}lw^2=\frac{1}{2}Kx^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2 +\frac{1}{2}\frac{mR^2}{2}\left ( \frac{V}{R} \right )^2 =\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$\frac{3}{4}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}km^2\Rightarrow \frac{3}{4}\times 3\times 4^2 =\frac{1}{2}\times 200\times x^2$

$\frac{36}{100}=x^2 =x=\frac{6}{10} =x=0.6m$
