help me on my urgent assingment on vibrations & wave

1.Two particles of masses m1 and m2 are attached to the ends of a rigid spring,the natural length of the spring is l and its tension is k.e.Initially, th particles are at rest with m1 at height h above m2 at t=0.mi is projected vertically unward with velocity v.find the position of the particles at any subsequent time.2.what is the larges value for which this solution applies.:

Help you how? All you did was state a problem- you haven't given any indication of what you know or what you have already done on this so we don't know what kind of hints will help. I can think of about four different ways to do this, some using formulas that you may or may not know, some solving differential equations using different assumptions about the problem.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
