Homework Statement
Question :
two masses MA = 1 kg and MB = 2 kg are connected by a massless spring as shown in figure. A force of 4 N acts on the 2 kg mass.
http://www.vidyamandir.com//displayImageServlet?appletImgId=8a7b221f1fcc7894011ff9cccfe412f0 Is it necessary that the acceleration of A always be less or equal to the acceleration of B?
If yes,then prove it...If no then also prove it,please.
2. The attempt at a solution
I thought this way..Working in centre of mass's frame,both blocks seem to oscillate about it.So,at some instant both will have same accelerations w.r.t. Centre of mass then, using pseudo force concept the net acc. of the block be will get greater than that of block A..
Correct me if i am wrong...
