Homework Statement
Hi
I want to derive the equation of kinetic energy for a mass on two springs .. Here is the figure of the system:

Am I doing right for calculating the kinetic energy for the mass on two springs ?
Homework Equations
ΔK = ∫ F(x) · dx
The Attempt at a Solution
My attempt to solve the kinetic equation is by using this formula :
ΔK = ∫ F(x) · dx
so ΔK = (-2kx^2)/2 + ∫ 2kxL/(√(x^2 + L^2)) = (-2kx^2)/2 + 2kL*√(x^2 + L^2)
Am I doing right for calculating the kinetic energy for the mass on two springs ?
Thanks
