Two blocks A and B of masses m_A and m_B are connected together by means of a spring and are resting on a horizontal frictionless table. The blocks are then pulled apart so as to stretch the spring and then released. Show that the kinetic energies of the blocks are, at any instant inversely proportional to their masses.

In the figure, a block of mass m is rigidly attached to two identical springs of stiffness k each. The other ends of the springs are connected to the fixed wall. When the block is in equilibrium, length of each spring is b, which is greater than the natural length of the spring. The time period of the oscillation of the block if it is displaced by small distance perpendicular to the length of the springs and released. Space is gravity free.

A block of mass m is connected to a spring (spring constant k ). Initially the block is at rest and the spring is in its natural length. Now the system is released in gravitational field and a variable force F is applied on the upper end of the spring such that the downward acceleration of the block is given as a=g-alphat , where t is time elapses and alpha=1m//s^(2) , the velocity of the point of application of the force is:
