Question:

A two-mass system consists of a piston of mass \(m_{1}\), connected by two elastic springs, that moves inside a tube as shown in Fig. 5.23. A pendulum of length \(l\) and end mass \(m_{2}\) is connected to the piston as shown in Fig. 5.23.

(a) Derive the equations of motion of the system in terms of \(x_{1}(t)\) and \(\theta(t)\).

(b) Derive the equations of motion of the system in terms of the \(x_{1}(t)\) and \(x_{2}(t)\).

(c) Find the natural frequencies of vibration of the system.
