Question:

Find the normal modes for the coupled pendulums if in Figure 12-5 when the pendulum on the left has mass bob m1 = 300 g and the right has mass bob m2 = 500g. The length of both pendula is 40cm, and the spring constant is 0.020 N/m. When the left pendulum is initially pulled back to θ1 = – 7o and released from rest when θ2 = θ2 = 0, what is the maximum angle that θ2 reaches? Use the small angle approximation.
