3) **Problem 3:**A mass \( m = 3.0 \, \text{kg} \) swings down on a string of length \( 1.2 \, \text{m} \). The initial angle of the string is \( 45^\circ \). At its lowest point, it strikes and attaches itself to a mass of \( 5.0 \, \text{kg} \). Both objects, now attached, slide over a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction \( \mu = 0.20 \). How far will both blocks slide before coming to a complete stop?**Diagram Explanation:**- A 3.0 kg mass is shown hanging and swinging on a string that is initially at a \( 45^\circ \) angle with a length labeled \( L = 1.2 \, \text{m} \).- When it reaches the lowest point, the mass collides and attaches to a 5.0 kg block on a horizontal surface.- Both masses slide together along the surface. - The direction of motion is represented by an arrow pointing horizontally to the right, and the distance they slide is labeled as \( d = ? \).- The horizontal surface has a coefficient of friction \( \mu = 0.20 \).This problem can be solved using principles of conservation of energy and dynamics with friction.

The initial potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the two mass system. The…
