The circle is in the x-y plane, Sorry about that.
Ok it makes sense that what I've written above is just the fundamental theorem of calculus, but shouldn't it still apply? i.e. the answer of 0 is still valid?

Homework Statement
Consider two pendulums, I and II. I consists of a bob of mass 2m at the end of a rod of length L. II consists of one bob of mass m at the end of a rod of length L and another bob of mass m halfway up the road, at L/2. What is the ratio of the frequency of small...
TO clarify, the normal mode problem did include three masses: each pendulum as well as the tube they are attached to, which itself can slide along a wire.
I'm studying for the GRE Physics, and I have a few conceptual questions that have arisen while I have been attempting practice problems, but which I do not understand even after reading the provided solutions.
1) I understand that in systems with normal mode oscillations consisting of, for...
