Oscillations(1)
Small Oscillations Problem: Two masses, 1kg and 2kg, are fixed horizontally to fixed side supports with springs as shown below. The masses are constrained to move along the horizontal line. From their equilibrium position m1 is given a displacement L to the right, while m2 is held fixed. At t=0 they are released from rest. Give the equation for the positions of m1 and m2 as a function of time.
