I'm looking at what should be just a simple spring system where four identical springs are holding up a square, load-bearing pallet plate in a warehouse. Now, someone says the equation of motion for the vertical normal mode of vibration is simply d2z/dt2 = -4(k/m)z.
Right away however, I see no gravity in this equation, I think it should be d2z/dt2 = -4(k/m)z + g. Which one is right?
Also where is the LaTex editor here?
