So the extension of the inner springs due to the movement of the two outer masses would be the displacement relative to the equilibrium positions of the the two masses. So would it be correct if I assume that the displacement on the inner spring is just x3-x1? where x1 and x3 are the...

Homework Statement |--------------------| m|----------m-------- |m |--------------------| -------> x : positive x-axis This is a picture of a coupled oscillator in equilibrium. All three masses are equal and the spring constant on the long springs are k and the two short...

I'm sorry maybe I wasnt specific enough on the topics so they may seem too outlandish and in the realm of science fiction. By parallel universes I was referring to Everest's multiple world interpretation of quantum mechanics, I've read that this interpretation is gaining popularity among...
