- Two particles, 1 and 2 , each of mass \(m\), are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at \(x_0\), are oscillating with amplitude \(a\) and angular frequency \(\omega\). Thus, their positions at time \(t\) are given by \(x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t\) and \(x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-a \sin \omega t\), respectively, where \(d>2 a\). Particle 3 of mass \(m\) moves towards this system with speed \(u_0=a \omega / 2\), and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time \(t_0\). Finally, particles 1 and 2 acquire a center of mass speed \(v_{\mathrm{cm}}\) and oscillate with amplitude \(b\) and the same angular frequency \(\omega\).

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant \(k\) which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance \(d\) from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is \(L\). The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass \((C M)\) at a distance Lfrom the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity \(\mathbf{v}_0=v_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) The coefficient of friction is \(\mu\).
