## Problem StatementTwo gliders are on a very long air track with negligible friction. The 3 kg glider is initially located 2 meters from the left end of the track and moving at 2 m/s to the right. The 2 kg glider is initially 5 meters from the left end and is moving 6 m/s to the left. There are springs with \( k = 50 \, \text{N/m} \) at each end of the track.**Diagram Description:**- The track is depicted as a horizontal line with a spring attached to each end.- A 3 kg glider is shown moving to the right, starting at 2 meters from the left.- A 2 kg glider is shown moving to the left, starting at 5 meters from the left.- The springs are positioned on either end of the track.### Questions**a.** Where is the center of mass of the two-glider system initially located, measured from the left end of the track?**b.** The gliders are equipped with Velcro so they stick together after colliding. What will be their speed and direction (left/right) after the collision?**c.** The gliders eventually hit a spring. What is the maximum distance the gliders compress the spring?
