    A $1\,kg$ mass is attached to a spring of force constant $600\,N / m$ and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other end of the spring tied to wall as shown in figure. A second mass of $0.5\,kg$ slides along the surface towards the first at $3\,m / s$. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision, then find amplitude and time period of oscillation of combined mass.
