Hi, my teacher gave this problem and he said that it has a very "pretty" answer.
You have two equal masses, each mass is called M that are touching each other.
There is a block with mass m on top of the first mass M. This block is a distance H above the ground. When the block is released the first mass will start moving backwards and the block will move onto the second mass M which will start moving fowards. I have to find the new distance H, that the block will go.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Attached is a diagram
