3. Two subway cars of Figure 2 have 2000 kg mass each and are connected by a coupler. The coupler
can be modelled as a spring of stiffness of k = 280 kN/m. Write the equation of motion and
calculate the natural frequencies and normalised mode shapes if the system is vibrating in
harmonic motion.

4. Figure 3 shows a motor unit of mass m1 mounted on a steel platform of mass m2. The motor is
supported by two vibration isolators: one between the motor and the platform with stiffness
constant k1, and another between the platform and the ground with stiffness constant k 2. Each
isolator also provides damping with coefficients c1 and c2, respectively. Write the equation of
motion in matrix form and calculate the natural frequencies and normalize shape function. m1=
3kg, m2= 6kg, k1= 3N/m, k2 = 6N/m. (Ignore damping and assume the system vibrates
harmonically)
