A spring of negligible mass and force constant k = 400 N/m is hung vertically, and a 0.240 kg pan is suspended from its lower end. A butcher drops a 2.4 kg steak onto the pan from a height of 0.40 m . The steak makes a totally inelastic collision with the pan and sets the system into vertical SHM.
A. What is the speed of the pan and steak immediately after the collision?
B. What is the amplitude of the subsequent motion?
C.What is the period of that motion?
