Consider the double mass spring system shown in the figure below.
The positions and of the two masses are given by the system
Let
and . If the forcing imparts a force
on the first mass and a force
on the second and the masses start from rest (
) and at their equilibrium positions (
), find the resulting motion of the system.
Attempt:
First I found the eigen values which are 16 and 24. Then found the respective eigenvectors:
for lambda = -9 v1 = 1 1
for lambda = -25 v2 = -1 1
So,
After that I am stuck... Please help...
Many Thanks!!!
