Determine the natural frequency of the two systems illustrated. Which system (a or b) has the higher natural frequency? Note that K1 and K2 are the same in both a and b and K3 is nonzero. Explain your answer. Which system (a or b) has the higher natural frequency if K3=0 (K1 and K2 are the same for both a and b)? Explain your answer.
