Two identical spring-mass systems A and B are coupled by a weak middle spring having a spring constant smaller by a factor of 100 (i.e. 100kmiddle = KA = KB). Mass A is pulled by a small distance and released from rest, while mass B is released from rest at its equilibrium position, at t = 0. Calculate the approximate number of oscillations completed by mass A before its oscillations die down first.
