2) Consider the mass m attached to two identical ideal springs defined as S(k, a) as depicted in the figure below. The system is moving horizontally without friction. S(k, a) mmmmmmmm ooooooooooooo S(k, a) Consider that, when in motion, the mass m has an extension z(t) (positive to the right). (a) Using the Newton's second law, derive the equation of motion satisfied by the mass in motion. (b) Solve for z(t) by considering that initially, the mass is extended by xo (positive) from rest.
