system 2-mass 1-spring
System of two mass and one spring
Two frictionless and free moving masses connected by a spring will have two natural frequencies, where one is zero 1. The system can be considered as similar system with two springs 2, but with the second spring is unattached to a fix point. Simpler system with only one mass but with massful spring is still interesting 3.
