Understanding Dual Mass Spring System: Relating Acceleration and Oscillations

[Arslan1988]

Dear members I'am stuck in Dual mass spring system.
How do we relate acceleration of masses when they are are oscillating relatively with let say amplitudes x1 and x2?
Is there any simpler approach available please let me know.thanks.

A google search for "coupled harmonic oscillator solution" will find you some worked examples.

If as a result of that search you have more specific questions or need help getting past some sticking point, please feel free to start new threads in the Homework section of this forum.
