Question: Figure below shows a 2 D cantilevered beam, length ( L ) 0 . 1 m , attached to an axial spring with spring stiffness

Figure below shows a 2D cantilevered beam, length (L)0.1m, attached to an axial spring with
spring stiffness (k) of 500,000Nm. The square cross section of the cantilever beam measures
0.01mx0.01m. It is manufactured from steel with density ()7850kgm3 and modulus (E)
200GPa.
I=112bh3, mass =AL
a) Using a consistent mass matrix and using one beam element to model the cantilever
beam, write down the equations of motion for the two degrees of freedom system.
