$F=m*a$ accounting for pressure wave propagation
$m$ is the mass of your “system” and $v$ is the velocity of the center of mass of the system. The system could be the whole rod or some subset of the rod. The easiest is the whole rod.
If it is a ...

I get the following eigenvectors:
$$\mathbf v_1= \left[ \begin {array}{c} 1\\ {l}^{-1}-1/3\,{\frac {
1}{l\eta}}-1/3\,{\frac {\sqrt {9\,{\eta}^{2}+3\,\eta+1}}{l\eta}}
\end {array} \right] ;
