Question
I want you to draw this system for me from the description:
I will consider a system with three pendulums of equal lengths, L, but with potentially different masses m1, m2, and m3. These pendulums are attached to a common rod, which is fixed at both ends. The middle pendulum is directly attached to the rod, while the two outer pendulums are connected to the rod by weak torsional springs with spring constants k1 and k2. When the middle pendulum (pendulum 2) swings, it exerts torques on the torsional springs, which then drive oscillations in the outer pendulums. Thus, the oscillations of one pendulum can influence the oscillations of the others.
