Question: ( 2 ) The two pendulums are connected by a spring k . The links are massless, but they are rigid ( not flexible cables

(2) The two pendulums are connected by a spring k. The links are massless, but they are rigid (not flexible cables). The spring is unstretched when both links are vertical. The rotational damping constants at the joints are \(\mathrm{C}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2}\), respectively. Derive the equations of motion and put the equations in matrix form with \(\mathrm{M},\mathrm{C},\mathrm{K}\) matrices and a right-hand side vector (even when the right-hand vector is a zero vector for free vibration).
