Homework Statement
Essentially the problem that I am trying to solve is the same as in this topic except that it is for 3 springs and 3 masses

Homework Equations
I have found similar equations as in the topic but I face a problem in describing the potential energy due to gravity for the system. The euler-lagrange equations aren't supposed to have any constants but due to the PE I find that I have constants in my euler-lagrange equations.
How do you define the gravitational potential energy for a vertical two spring system?
Thank you all in advance
