In equillibrium $F=\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right) \mathrm{g}$

By removing mass $m_1$

$F^{\prime}=\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{g}$

$F_{\mathrm{r}}=F^{\prime}-F=\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{g}-\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{kx}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{g} \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{k}}$

    Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to $A$ and $T,$  respectively. At time $t=0$ one particle has displacement $A$ while the other one has displacement $\frac {-A}{2}$ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time $t,$ then $t$ is
