Consider the mass-spring system shown below.
The frequencies for the mass vibrations can be determined by solving for the eigenvalues and by applying Mx-kx=0, which yields
[m1000m2000m3]{[x1],[x2],[x3]}+[2k-k-k-k2k-k-k-k2k]{[x1],[x2],[x3]}={[0],[0],[0]}
Applying the guess x=x0eit as a solution, we get the following matrix:
[2k-m12-k-k-k2k-m22-k-k-k2k-m32]{[x01],[x02],[x03]}eit={[0],[0],[0]}
Use MATLAB's "eig" command to solve for the eigenvalues of the k-m2 matrix above. Also, solve for the eigenvalues and report the frequencies ().
Let m1=m2=m3=1kg and k=2Nm.
