APPROXIMATE NUMERICAL METHODS
1. Determine the natural frequency of vibration for the system shown in Figure P9.1.
2. Write kinetic and potential energy expressions for the system shown in Figure P9.2, when k1 =
k, k2 = 3k, k3 = 2k; m1 = m, m2 = 2m and determine the equation for 2 by equating the two
energies. Letting x2/x1 = n, plot 2 versus n. Pick off the maximum and minimum values of 2
and the corresponding values of n, and show that they represent the two natural modes of the
system.
