(choose chapter or problem)

In the coupled mass–spring system depicted in Figure 5.26, page 285, take each mass to be 1 kg and let \(k_{1}=8 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\), while \(k_{2}=3 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\). What are the natural angular frequencies of the system? What is the general solution?
