2DOF Spring Mass System Proof

The video tutorial explains how to derive the equations of motion for a two-degree-of-freedom spring-mass system using calculus, avoiding linear algebra. It begins with an introduction to the system and the approach, followed by drawing free body diagrams for the masses. The tutorial then derives the equations of motion using Newton's second law and solves the resulting differential equations. It identifies the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system, concluding with insights into the learning process and the significance of understanding engineering vibrations.
