Problem 4.24

Determine the period of small longitudinal oscillations of a body with mass mm in the system shown in Fig. 4.3.4.3 . The stiffness values of the springs are x1x_{1} and x2.x_{2} . The friction and the masses of the springs are negligible.

Reveal Answer
T=2πm/(x1+x2)T=2 \pi \sqrt{m /\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)}
