For the system in problem 6-12 in Goldstein, determine the particle positions as a function of time, if, at t = 0, (a) the displacements and the velocity of the second particle are zero while the first particle moves at a velocity v, (b) the velocities and the displacement of the second particle are zero while the first particle is displaced by +d. (c) Find the general solu- tion of the equations of motion if the particles get subjected to friction forces proportional to velocities, with a proportionality coefficient ν.
