Two balls with masses m1 = 1.0 kg and m2 = 2.0 kg are slipped on a thin smooth horizontal rod (Fig. 4.19). The balls are interconnected by a light spring of stiffness x = 24 N/m. The left-hand ball is imparted the initial velocity Vx = t2 cm/s. Find:
(a) The oscillation frequency of the system in the process of motion;
(b) The energy and the amplitude of oscillations.
