Question:

Two particles each of mass m are attached to a string under (constant) tension T , as indicated in Fig. 7.1.10. Assume that the particles oscillate vertically (that is, parallel to the y-axis) with amplitudes so small that the sines of the angles shown are accurately approximated by their tangents. Show that the displacements y1 and y2 satisfy the equations
