If we attach two blocks that have masses m1 and m2 to either end
of a spring that has a force constant k and set them into
oscillation by releasing them from rest with the spring stretched,
show that the oscillation frequency is given by v = (k/m)^(1/2),
where m = m1xm2 /(m1 + m2) is the reduced mass of the system.
