For the system shown below, complete the following:
(1) Draw free-body diagram of each mass, find the equation of motion by applying Newton's Law of Motion in terms of x1 and x2, and put the equations in matrix form. Identify the mass matrix and stiffness matrix.
(2) Solve the eigenvalue problem and find the natural frequencies and mode shapes when m1=20kg,m2=30kg,k1=1000(N)(m), and k2=1500(N)(m).
(3) If the system is disturbed by initial displacements vec(x)(0)=[1-2]T, with zero initial velocity, use the orthogonality property of the mode shapes to find the free vibration response. See class notes. Do not solve simultaneous equations.
For the system shown below, complete the
