Homework Statement
2 blocks, mass 'M1' & 'M2' are connected by an ideal spring of force constant 'k' and placed on a frictionless surface. Force 'F' is applied on the 'M2' block. We have to find the maximum extension in the spring.
2. The attempt at a solution
(1) The conservation of energy law won't work on the blocks-spring because I don't know the work done by the force F.
(2) I also tried to apply Newton's Second Law on the blocks individually but it also won't work.
I don't know where to start. Please help!
Thanks...
