Total energy is constant

  

  

  

  

  

Comparing with   

  

    

Solution 25

 The velocity of center of mass is zero, so it will remain at rest during motion.

If left block stretches spring by x so, right block will also stretch spring by x.

Total time=   

 =  sec  

Solution 30

The above situation can be drawn as

Considering both blocks and spring as a system, there is no external resultant force on the system. Hence, center of mass will remain at rest. The mean positions of the two SHM occur when the spring becomes unstretched. If the mass M moves towards right through a distance x and the mass m moves towards left through a distance X before the spring acquires natural length,

  -(1)

As COM remains at rest;   -(2)

From (1) and (2)

  

Hence, the left block is   distance away from its mean position in the beginning of the motion. The force by the spring on this block at this instant is equal to the tension of spring i.e.,   .
