Figure 2.65 shows a small mass \(m\) restrained by four linearly elastic springs, each of which has an unstretched length \(l\), and an angle of orientation of \(45^{\circ}\) with respect to the \(x\)-axis. Determine the equation of motion for small displacements of the mass in the \(x\) direction.
