Transcribed Image Text:Two separate systems have vertical springs of negligible mass with identical spring constants. One system has a sphere of mass m attached to it
and it oscillates with oscillation amplitude A1. The other system has a mass 2m attached to it and it has an oscillation amplitude A2. If the total
mechanical energy of the two systems are the same then the ratio of the oscillation amplitudes AIA2 is equal to
[The gravitational potential energy of the mass attached to the spring does not alter the equation of motion of the mass attached to the spring).
