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 would be happy to help you with your assignment on vibrations and waves. Firstly, let's address the first question about the position of the particles at any subsequent time. To calculate this, we can use the equations of motion for simple harmonic motion (SHM), since the system described in the question is an example of SHM.

To solve the problem, we can use the equation x(t) = A sin(ωt + φ), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and φ is the phase angle. In this case, the amplitude is equal to the initial displacement of m1 from its equilibrium position, which is h. The angular frequency, ω, can be calculated using the formula ω = √(k/m), where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle. The phase angle, φ, can be determined by considering the initial conditions of the system.

Once we have these values, we can plug them into the equation for x(t) and find the position of the particles at any given time. It is important to note that the position of the particles will be a function of time, and will vary as the particles oscillate up and down. This solution applies for any time after t=0, as long as the system remains in SHM.

Moving on to the second question, the largest value for which this solution applies would be when the particles reach their maximum displacement, which is equal to the amplitude, A. This is because at this point, the particles will start moving back towards their equilibrium position, and the equation for x(t) will still be valid. However, as the particles continue to oscillate, the amplitude will decrease due to energy losses, and the solution may no longer be accurate. Therefore, this solution applies for a maximum amplitude of A.

I hope this helps you with your assignment. If you have any further questions or need more clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
