One end of an ideal spring is fixed to a wall at origin O and the axis of spring is parallel to x-axis. A block of mass m = 1kg is attached to free end of the spring and it is performing SHM. Equation of position of the block in co-ordinate system shown in figure is x = 10 + 3sin (10t), where t is in second and x in cm.
Another block of mass M = 3 kg, moving towards the origin with velocity 30 cm/s collides with the block performing SHM at t = 0 and gets stuck to it.                  
  
New amplitude of oscillation is
  1. 3 cm
  2. 20 cm
  3. 10 cm
  4. 100 cm

Answer

(A) 3 cm
