A block of mass M = 6.2 kg at rest on a horizontal frictionless table, is attached to a rigid support by a spring with a spring constant of 6,000 N/m.  A bullet of m = 9.5 g and velocity of 630 m/s strikes and becomes embedded in the block.  Determine the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion.  Use conservation of momentum to determine the initial velocity of the block/bullet and determine amplitude base on conservation of energy.
