Homework Statement
Both m1 and m2 (m1=2m2) masses can slide without friction over parallel and rigid bars that are placed at a distance d from each other. A spring with elastic constant k and with zero natural length connects both masses. The system is placed on a table. The system is released when it is in the state (1) shown in the figure (i.e. when the spring is at 45◦ with the bars). Calculate, when the bodies arrive to state (2) in the figure:
Homework Equations
p=m⋅v
F(spring)=-k⋅x
Ek=1/2⋅m⋅v^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't have any idea of how to do this problem... I've been trying to solve it for hours. Please, help!
I have computed that X(enter of mass)=2d/3⋅tan(45º) and that v2=2⋅v1
I don't know how to continue...
