The Attempt at a Solution
I honestly just don't know how to approach a problem where you have to find both the spring constant and the compression distance...
Ive tried employing conservation of momentum, I've tried working backwards with M1...
Im pretty sure I need to find an equation that would solve for either K or x and then use that to find the other value.
Am I on the right track?
