Three masses, m₁ = 2.5 kg, m₂ = 3 kg, and m3 = 1 kg, are attached to springs with stiffness constants, k₁ = 3 kN/m, k₂= 3.5 kN/m, k3 = 2 kN/m, and k4 = 2.5 kN/m, as shown in the figure. Initially the masses are positioned such that the springs are in their natural length (not stretched or compressed); then the masses are slowly released and move downward due to gravity, such that the springs are stretched to their equilibrium positions as shown.

Three masses, m₁ = : 2.5 kg, m₂
3 kg, and m₂ = 1 kg, are attached
to springs with stiffness constants, k₁ = 3 kN/m, k₂ = 3.5 kN/m,
k3 = 2 kN/m, and k4 = 2.5 kN/m, as shown in the figure. Initially
the masses are positioned such that the springs are in their natural
length (not stretched or compressed); then the masses are slowly
released and move downward due to gravity, such that the springs
are stretched to their equilibrium positions as shown. The
equilibrium equations of the three masses are:
(K₁ + K₂ + K3)U₁ - K3U₂ = m₁g
-K3U₁ + (K3 + K4)U₂ - k4u3 = m₂g
-K4U₂ + K4U₂ = m3g
