Multiple Choice

In the figure,two masses,M = 16 kg and m = 12.8.0 kg,are connected to a very light rigid bar and are attached to an ideal massless spring of spring constant 100 N/m.The system is set into oscillation with an amplitude of 78 cm.At the instant when the acceleration is at its maximum,the 16-kg mass separates from the 12.8.0-kg mass,which then remains attached to the spring and continues to oscillate.What will be the amplitude of oscillation of the 12.8.0-kg mass?

A) 78 cm
B) 62 cm
C) 35 cm
D) 98 cm
E) 180 cm
