In the system shown in Fig., AB is a massless rod which pivots freely about a pin connection at A. If the generalized coordinates are selected to be the angular orientation of the rod and the displacement of the second mass, obtain the differential equations of this system using Lagrange’s equation. Use the assumption of small oscillations.
