Two uniform solid spheres are joined by a light rigid rod to form a dumbbell. The spheres are identical, and each has mass M/2. One end of a spring is attached to the center of the rod, the spring is stretched perpendicular to the rod, and the other end of the spring is attached to a wall. The dumbbell rests on a horizontal surface. Friction between the surface and the spheres prevents slipping. The system is released from rest. a)...
