Stiffness matrix for mass spring system
Please see attached file. How do i equate the mass spring system?
B2 The spring-mass system shown in Figure B2 is in tension, where the spring stiffnesses of the nth spring are denoted by kn , l is the separation of the supporting walls and m is the mass held between each spring
(a) Show, by equating the tension in each spring, that the stiffness matrix is given by [k] where:

Problem 2615(Answer)
A mass spring system
Consider the forces acting on m1 . There will be the force F1 due to spring k1 and F2 due to spring k2 . Now by Hooke's Law we have that:
F1 = k1 x1 and F2 = k2 | s |; where | s | is the total ...
