Two spring-mass oscillators are coupled by a massless spring. You can vary the mass
m
, the extension
D
of the spring, and the initial displacement
A
separately for both oscillators, and three different coupling factors can be chosen. You can display the graphs of the time functions of the displacement and the total energy of the oscillators.
