The figure below shows a cylinder floating upright in a fluid. When the cylinderis displaced slightly along it’s vertical axis it will oscillate about it’s equilibriumposition with frequency, ω.

A particle of mass m attached to a rigid support by a support of constant k. At equilibrium, the spring hangs vertically. This mass-spring system is joined by another identical oscillator, whose spring is hung from the previous mass. Consider only the vertical movement. a) write the equations of motion of the coupled system b)Compute the normal mode frequencies for one-dimensional vertical oscillations and then show that the ratio of the two normal frequencies is √5+1/√5−1 c)Find the ratio of the amplitudes of the two masses in each separate mode. (You do not need to consider the force of gravity acting on the masses because it is independent of the displacements.)
A beam of constant cross-section, made of a uniform material, is supported by two springs at the A and B ends. Both springs are given as constant k. The vertical oscillation period is 0.83 seconds if no object is placed on the beam. When an object with a mass of 50 kg is placed in the center of the beam, the vertical oscillation period increases to 1.52 seconds. Calculate the stiffness wich is k of both springs, and the mass of the beam.
