Two equal masses m are constrained to move without friction, one on the positive x axis and one on the positive y axis. They are
attached to two identical springs (force constant k) whose other ends are attached to the origin. In addition, the two masses are connected to each other by a third spring of force constant k', The springs are chosen so that the system is in equilibrium with all three springs relaxed (length equal to unstretched length). What are the normal frequencies? Find and describe the normal modes

Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The potential energy <em><u>(is the energy by virtue of a particular object's location relative to that of other objects. This term is most of the time linked or associated with restoring forces such as a spring or the force of gravity.) </u></em>seems to be U = mgy . In fact, the mgy term has disappeared from the development.

Answer:
D. 48.985 N
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that:
which means that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration.
The equation of the forces for the briefcase in the elevator therefore is given by:
where
N is the normal reaction exerted on the briefcase
(mg) is the weight of the briefcase, with
m = 4.5 kg being its mass
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
a = 1.10 m/s^2 is the acceleration
Here we chose upward as positive direction.
Solving for N, we find the normal force:
So the closest answer is
D. 48.985 N
