- Homework Statement
- Find the maximum deformation of the spring in the system of the figure. F1 and F2 are Constant forces. Assume there is no friction and that the spring has no deformation in the begining of the motion
- Relevant Equations
- Fr=ma , Fel=kx, dW=Fdx
For the maximum elongation the velocities of the blocks should be equal. With that i used two conservation of energy for m1 and m2, for m1 the work of the elastic force is integral of kx(dx1) and for m2 kx(dx2), where X1+x2=x. I got three equation and four variables since i don't know the final speed, couldn't get any further
