Energy of vibrational systems

Monkey trick at zoo A monkey has a cart with a horizontal spring attached to it that she uses for different tricks. In one trick, the monkey sits on the vibrating cart. When the cart reaches its maximum displacement from equilibrium, the monkey picks up a 0.30-kg cantaloupe from a trainer. The mass of the monkey and the cart together is 3.0 kg. The spring constant is 660 N/m. The amplitude of horizontal vibrations is 0.24 m. Determine the ratio of the maximum speed of the monkey before and after she picks up the cantaloupe.
