This is done by using the D' Alembert's principle which is similar to the
Kirchhoff's laws in Electrical Networks. Also, this principle is a modified
version of Newton's second law of motion. The D' Alembert's principle
states that,
F ( S ) fV SX ( S )
Sliding on a film of oil
K Spring constant
f ( t ) Kx( t )
Applied force Opposing force developed by
spring element
F ( S ) KX ( S )

Sum of opposing forces = Applied force
Each mass element gives one linearly independent displacement. (Mass element is
the point of displacement).
