If one body is not dynamic, is there a reason to define an "equivalent" mass? I would say it this case m=m1, which is what Sergei find for infinite mass too.

    Why it will not work?
    m=m1*m2/(m1+m2) is 1/m=1/m1+1/m2,
    so if box have infinity mass (m2) it will 1/m=1/m1, for example. No?

Hi Sergei, it will not work simply because in the TT boxes have zero mass. So in that case it would be necessary to set the equivalent mass equal just to the one of the contact sphere (I think).
