(a) A box of mass m, starting from rest at x



A, undergoes simple harmonic motion about x


 0 m. (b) When x


0 m, a second box, with the same mass and speed, is attached.
Figure 10.20  (a) A box of mass m, starting from rest at x = A, undergoes simple harmonic motion about x = 0 m. (b) When x = 0 m, a second box, with the same mass and speed, is attached.
