Question

A spring of negligible mass
and force constant k = 400 N/m is hung vertically, and a 0.200 kg pan
is suspended from its lower end. A butcher drops a 2.2 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. What are
(a) the speed of the pan and steak immediately after the collision; (b) the
amplitude of the subsequent motion; (c) the period of that motion?
