For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.350 kg of turkey . The slices of turkey are weighed on a plate of mass 0.460 kg placed atop a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant of 267 N/m . The slices of turkey are dropped on the plate all at the same time from a height of 0.350 m . They make a totally inelastic collision with the plate and set the scale vertical simple harmonic motion (SHM) . You may assume that the collision time is extremely small .a) What is the amplitude of oscillations A of the scale after the slices of turkey land on the plate ?
b) What is the angular frequency of the oscillation ?
c) What is the period of oscillation T of the scale ?
