In the figure, block 2 of mass 2.90 kg oscillates on the end ofa spring in SHM with a period of 26.00 ms. The position of theblock is given by x = (0.700 cm) cos(?t + ?/2). Block 1 of mass5.80 kg slides toward block 2 with a velocity of magnitude 8.70m/s, directed along the spring's length. The two blocks undergo acompletely inelastic collision at time t = 6.50 ms. (The durationof the collision is much less than the period of motion.) What isthe amplitude of the SHM after the collision?
