Question

A spring is compressed between two blocks of masses

m_1 and m_2

placed on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. When the blocks are released, they have initial velocity of

v_1 and v_2

as shown. The blocks travel distances

x_1 and x_2

respectively before coming to rest. The ratio

\left(\frac{x_1}{x_2}\right)

is
