Question 2:
A mass m supported on four springs as shown below experiences free vibrations. Draw the free body
diagrams, and hence write the equation of motion in matrix form. Determine the natural frequencies of the
system and the amplitude ratios.

system in terms of “K” and “m”.
d) What are the amplitude ratios of this structure?

K1=2*K2=K, and m1=m2=m

of the fundamental frequency and obtain the percentage error in this estimate. m1 = m2 = m ; k1 = k2 = k3 = k;
