Two identical 0.11 kg blocks (labeled 1 and 2) are initially at rest on a nearly frictionless surface, connected by an unstretched spring, as shown in the upper diagram, where x2 = 0.06 m. Then a constant force of 9 N to the right is applied to block 2, and at a later time the blocks are in the new positions shown in the lower diagram, where x1 = 0.01 m and x3 = 0.12 m. At this final time, the system is moving to the right and also vibrating, and the spring is stretched.
