1[20 points] Inverted Pendulum
Consider the system in Figure 1 that depicts an inverted pendulum coupled with a mass spring mechanism. The rod has a length of \( l \), with spring \( k_{3}\) connected at the midway point and spring \( k_{2}\) at the end of the rod. Assume that all displacements of the rod are small enough that the spring forces remain horizontal. Assume negligible friction for each surface.
