system shown in Fig. 1
2. Mass m3 is now removed. The spring with stiffness k, whose lower end is attached to mass
m2, has it upper end attached to the ground. The spring with stiffness 5k, whose lower end
is attached to mass m1, has it upper end attached to the ground. Write the equations of
motion for free vibrations, assuming m1 = m2 = m.
3. Find the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system
4. Plot the mode shapes
