3.(30 points)
For the 2-mass system shown below, the degrees of freedom are displacements \( q_{1}\) and \( q_{2}\). Assume k1=12 N/m, k2=8N/m, c1=\(3\mathrm{Ns}/\mathrm{m},\mathrm{c2}=7\mathrm{Ns}/\mathrm{m}\).
(a) Derive the expressions for the mass matrix, M , the stiffness matrix, K , and the damping matrix, C .
(b) Write and solve (by hand calculations - NOT MATLAB) the eigen value problem and obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system.
(c) Give an example of the initial conditions that will be needed to get an initial response of the system.
