(20 points) Consider the following 2 degree of freedom system. Assume mass 1 slides with no friction, and the cord suspending mass 2 does not slip on the massless pulley wheel. Directions of positive motion are defined in red in the figure. Assume all coordinates =0 when springs are unstretched.
a.(3) Write a kinematic constraint relating position of mass 1(x_1) to position of mass 2(y_2).
b.(7) Draw free body diagrams for all 3 bodies in the system
c.(10) Find equations of motion for this system, and report in matrix form. Use x_1 and y_3 as your variable coordinates. Note:y_2 should not appear in your answer, due to your kinematic constraint from part (a).
