Question: 2 . 1 0 A two - mass transfational mechanical system has the following mathematical model: m 1 x 1 + b ( x 1

2.10 A two-mass transfational mechanical system has the following mathematical model:
m1x1+b(x1-x2)+(k1+k2)x1-k1x2=0
m2x2+b(x2-x1)+k1(x2-x1)=fa(t)
The displacements x1 and x2 are measured from their respective equilibrium positions. An external force
fa(t) is applied to the system. Sketch a possible configuration of the two-mass mechanical system. Label
all elements and show the positive convention for displacements on your sketch. Sketch the FBDs for each
mass and verify the system model by applying Newton's laws.
