For a spring-mass system with m=1 kg, k =100 N/m, f1 (t ) =10 sin(2t ) (N) and f2(t) = 5sin(2t ) , the governing equations of the system have been derived as
mx1 + 4 kx1 − kx2 = f1 (t)
mx2 − kx1 + 4 kx2 = f 2 (t)
(1) Put the equations of motion in matrix form,
(2) Find the natural frequencies of the system, and
(3) Determine the associated vibration mode shapes.
