Question: In Problems 8 through 10 the indicated mass-and-spring system is set in motion from rest (x' 1 (0) = x' 2 (0) = 0) in

In Problems 8 through 10 the indicated mass-and-spring system is set in motion from rest (x'1 (0) = x'2 (0) = 0) in its equilibrium position (x1(0) = x2(0) = 0) with the given external forces F1(t) and F2(t) acting on the masses m1 and m2, respectively. Find the resulting motion of the system and describe it as a superposition of oscillations at three different frequencies.

The mass-and-spring system of Problem 3, with F1(t) Ξ 0, F2(t) = 120 cos 3t
