Kan iemand mij helpen?
Om te beginnen moet ik het volgende probleem oplossen, maar ik kan me er niet zoveel bij voorstellen(wat gebeurt er precies?hoe ziet het eruit?):
A thin rod of lenght 2b and mass m is suspended by its two ends with two identical vertical springs (force constant k) that are attached toe the horizontal ceiling.
Assuming that the whole systems is constrained to move in just the one vertical plane, find the normal frequencies and normal modes of small oscillations. Describe and explain the normal modes.
(Hint: It is crucial to make a wise choice of generalized coordinates. One possibility would be r, \phi and \alpha, where r and \phi specify the position of the rod's CM relative to an origin halfway between the springs on he ceiling, and \alpha is the angle of tilt of the rod. Be careful when writing down the potential energy.)
