1 \mathrm{~kg}

mass is attached to a spring of force constant

600 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}

and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other end of the spring tied to wall as shown in figure. A second mass of

0.5 \mathrm{~kg}

slides along the surface towards the first at

3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision, then find amplitude and time period of oscillation of combined mass. A 1 ~kg mass is attached to a spring of force constant 600 ~N / m and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other
