Problem

Small oscillations of pendulums connected by a spring occur according to the law x = Bcos(ω\omega t+φ\varphi) + Acosω\omegat, x = Bcos(ω\omega t+φ\varphi) − Acosω\omegat. Determine 1 0 2 0 the stiffness of the spring linking the pendulums. In the equilibrium position the pendulums are vertical, the mass of each ball is m.
