Another spring whose constant is 20 N/m is suspended from the
same rigid support but parallel to the spring-mass system in
Problem 6. A 20-kilogram mass is attached to the second spring, and
both masses are initially released from the equilibrium position
with ascending speed of 10 m/s.
a) Which mass exhibits the greatest amplitude of motion?
b) Which mass is moving faster at 𝑡=𝜋/4 𝑠?, at 𝑡=𝜋/4 𝑠?
c) At what times do the two masses reach the same position?
Where are the masses located at those times? In what directions are
they moving?
