In Problems 3–6, find the critical point set for the given system.
Suppose the coupled mass-spring system of Problem(Figure 5.31) is hung vertically from support (with mass above ), as in Section4.10, page226.
(a) Argue that at equilibrium, the lower spring is stretched a distance from its natural length, given by.
(b) Argue that at equilibrium, the upper spring is stretched a distance.
(c) Show that ifand are redefined to be displacements from the equilibrium positions of the masses and , then the equations of motion are identical with those derived in Problem 1.
