2. A rope connect two masses, M₁ = 8 kg., and M₂ = 5 kg. They are initially held at the same height
above the ground, h₁ = 1.5 m, with the left (larger) mass connected by a spring to the ground.
When the masses are released, M₁ goes down .25 m, and M₂ goes up .25 m.
The spring is initially uncompressed. Both masses are initially and finally at rest.
The objective of this problem is to find the value of k for this spring using conservation of energy.
