Question: 2 . 1 6 A two - mass translational mechanical system has the following mathematical model: m 1 x 1 + b 1 x 1

2.16 A two-mass translational mechanical system has the following mathematical model:
m1x1+b1x1+k1(x1-x2)=fa(t)
m2x2+b2x2+k1(x2-x1)+k2x2=0
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.
2.17 Repeat Problem 2.16 if the mechanical model of thetwo-mass translational system is
m1x1+k1x1+k2(x1-x2)=0
m2x2+k2(x2-x1)=0
2.16
FBD:
{:k1(x2-x1)(m2x2)F?m2x2larrk2x2
Ive already worked 2.16 i need 2.17
