This problem involves determining the transfer function of a mechanical system. To solve it, let's break down the system shown in the diagram.

Given System:

1. Masses: $M_1 = 2 \, \text{kg}, \, M_2 = 1 \, \text{kg}$
2. Spring Constant: $K$
3. Inputs and Outputs:
   • Input force: $F(t)$
   • Displacements: $x_1$ (displacement of $M_1$) and $x_2$ (displacement of $M_2$).

Steps to Derive the Transfer Function:

1. Form the Equations of Motion:

   For $M_1$: $M_1 \ddot{x}_1 = F(t) - K (x_1 - x_2)$ Substituting $M_1 = 2 \, \text{kg}$: $2\ddot{x}_1 = F(t) - K(x_1 - x_2)$ Or: $\ddot{x}_1 = \frac{F(t)}{2} - \frac{K}{2}(x_1 - x_2)$

   For $M_2$: $M_2 \ddot{x}_2 = K(x_1 - x_2)$ Substituting $M_2 = 1 \, \text{kg}$: $\ddot{x}_2 = K(x_1 - x_2)$

2. Take Laplace Transforms: Assume zero initial conditions, and let $X_1(s)$ and $X_2(s)$ be the Laplace transforms of $x_1(t)$ and $x_2(t)$, respectively.

   For $M_1$: $2s^2 X_1(s) = F(s) - K(X_1(s) - X_2(s))$

   Rearrange: $(2s^2 + K)X_1(s) - KX_2(s) = F(s)$

   For $M_2$: $s^2 X_2(s) = K(X_1(s) - X_2(s))$

   Rearrange: $KX_1(s) - (s^2 + K)X_2(s) = 0$

3. Write in Matrix Form: Combine the equations: 2s^2 + K & -K \\ K & -(s^2 + K) \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_1(s) \\ X_2(s) \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} F(s) \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$$

4. Solve for the Transfer Function: To find the transfer function $\frac{X_2(s)}{F(s)}$:
   • Use Cramer's Rule or direct substitution to solve for $X_2(s)$ in terms of $F(s)$.
