The figure below shows block 1 of mass 0.200 kg sliding to the right over a frictionless elevated surface at a speed of 5.00 m/s. The block undergoes an elastic collision with stationary block 2, which is attached to a spring of spring constant 1208.5 N/m. (Assume that the spring does not affect the collision.) After the collision, block 2 oscillates in SHM with a period of 0.160 s, and block 1 slides off the opposite end of the elevated surface, landing a distance d from the base of that surface after falling height h = 3.60 m. What is the value of d?
