Homework Statement
| Mass 1: 2kg | -------- | Mass 2: 3kg | ----------> 15N
2 blocks are connected by a massless spring on a horizontal frictionless plane. The left block has a mass of 2kg and the right block has a mass of 3 kg. There is a force pulling Mass 2 to the right with a force of 15N.
Spring Constant = 130N/m
Homework Equations
Fspring = -kx
The Attempt at a Solution
So I subbed in k into the equation.
Fspring = -130x
At this point I don't know what to do next. I've tried subbing 15N for Fspring but then I'll get a negative x value.
Am I missing another equation that I'm supposed to use or a value that I'm supposed to find?
