Two masses hanging side by side from springs have

Chapter 4, Problem 46E

(choose chapter or problem)

Two masses hanging side by side from springs have positions s1 = 2 sin t and s2 = sin 2t, respectively.a. At what times in the interval 0 < t do the masses pass each other? (Hint: sin 2t = 2 sin t cos t.)b. When in the interval 0 ? t ? 2? is the vertical distance between the masses the greatest? What is this distance? (Hint: cos 2t = 2 cos2 t - 1.)
