Laplace Transforms · Challenge problem

Two equal masses joined by springs satisfy x′′=−10x+6yx'' = -10x + 6y and y′′=6x−10yy'' = 6x - 10y. They start at rest with x(0)=1x(0) = 1, y(0)=0y(0) = 0, x′(0)=y′(0)=0x'(0) = y'(0) = 0. Use the Laplace transform to find y ⁣(π6)y\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right).
