Question: Two objects of mass m 1 and m 2 are attached to a spring of force constant K and equilibrium length r 0 . (a)

Two objects of mass m1 and m2 are attached to a spring of force constant K and equilibrium length r0 .

(a) Show that when m1 is moved a distance ?r1 from the center of mass, the force exerted by the spring is

m, + m2 F = -K m2

(b) Show that the frequency of oscillation is f = (??) ?K/? 0 where ? is the reduced mass.

m, + m2 F = -K m2
