1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
2. Relevant equations
PE=.5kx^2
F=-kx
3. The attempt at a solution
I honestly just dont know how to approach a problem where you have to find both the spring constant and the compression distance….
Ive tried employing conservation of momentum, ive tried working backwards with M1…
Im pretty sure I need to find an equation that would solve for either K or x and then use that to find the other value.
Am I on the right track?
