(a) A spring of negligible mass and with spring constant k = 400 N/m is hung vertically; a pan of mass mp = 0.2 kg is suspended from its lower end. A piece of meat of mass mm = 2.2 kg is dropped onto the pan from a height of 0.4 m above the pan. The meat makes a totally inelastic collision with the pan, and sets the system into vertical simple harnoіс тotion. Find: (i) the speed of the meat and pan immediately after the collision; (ii) the amplitude of the subsequent motion; and (iii) the period of that motion.
