Harmonic oscillators may have several degrees of freedom linked to each other so the behavior of each influences that of the others. For example, two pendulum clocks (of identical frequency) mounted on a common wall will tend to synchronize. The apparent motions of the compound oscillations typically appears very complicated, but a more economic, computationally simpler and conceptually deeper description follows resolving the motion into [normal-modes].

Equations of motion for a system of $n$ particles given the potetial [closed]

I am having difficulties on the following question: The equations of motion for a system of n particles are: $$m \ddot{x}_i = - \dfrac{\partial U(x_1,...,x_n)}{\partial x_i}$$ $$\ddot{x}_i = \df …
