Question 1
Consider an undamped 2-DOF system with m1 = 500 kg, m2 = 700 kg, k1 = 30000 N/m, k2 = 25000 N/m, and k12 = 5000 N/m. Derive the equations of motion for this system.
💡 Hint: Use the definitions of mass and spring forces relevant to each mass.
Question 2
Using the derived equations for the 2-DOF system, determine the natural frequencies using appropriate methods (assume a linear approach).
💡 Hint: Remember the eigenvalue problem relates back to the determinant of (K - ω²M).
