4.35mm, free length of spring = 10.2mm, no. of active coil = 6. For analysis ANSYS 14.5 (workbench) is used. Since spring used in

14. The masses will be modeled as blocks, 1 m x 1 m, with unit thickness. So, they have a volume of 1 m3. The densities will be specified to
produce the correct masses. Also, the free lengths of the springs are irrelevant in this analysis, as only the stiffness matter. But, they will
both be assumed to have a length of 5 m. Find mode shape.
