4. Derive the set of differential equations for the three mass-four spring system shown in Figure 1. That
describes their time motion. Write the system in matrix form,
𝑘
[𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑣𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟] + [ 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑥] [𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑣𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑥] = 0 (2)
𝑚
Solve for the eigenvalues and natural frequencies for the following values of mass and spring constants:
𝑘1 = 𝑘4 = 15𝑁/𝑚, 𝑘2 = 𝑘3 = 35 𝑁/𝑚, and 𝑚1 = 𝑚2 = 𝑚3 = 1.5 𝑘𝑔.
