$A$ block of mass $(10 \alpha) \text{ g}$,where $\alpha$ is a constant,is moving with velocity $3 \text{ m/s}$ to the right. It collides inelastically with a block on the right of mass $10 \text{ g}$ and sticks to it. The right block is connected to three springs as shown in the figure. The spring constant of each spring is $k = 2 \text{ N/m}$. If the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion is $A = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $10$
