An object of mass M=3kg is attached to an ideal spring by spring constant k= 25 N/m. The 2nd end of the spring is attached to a ceiling.. The system is released and allowed to reach equilibrium. That wills b our initial position. After the system is at rest, an object of mass m=1kg is placed on top of the 1st object and released.
1. Identify forces acting on 1st object then 2nd object (i.e forces from a force diagram such as "gravity" or "normal force")
2. Explain the motion and release of the second object
3. Discover the displacement of the objects assuming the motion will stop after the long time
