A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g and initial horizontal velocity 280 m/s strikes and embeds itself

Question:

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g and initial horizontal velocity 280 m/s strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg that rests on a friction-less surface and is attached to one end of an ideal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to the wall. The impact compresses the spring a maximum distance of 18.0 cm. After the impact, the block moves in SHM. Calculate the period of this motion?
