5. RELATIVE DISPLACEMENT
For the two mass system shown in figure, x denotes the position of mass M1 with respect to a fixed reference, and z denotes the relative displacement of mass M2 with respect to M1. The positive direction for both displacements is to the right. Assume that the two springs are neither stretched nor compressed when x=z=0. Find the equations describing the system.
