The pendulum oscillation is described by the initial-value problem consisting of the equation of motion with initial conditions:
\theta ^(¨)+(g)/(L)sin(\theta )=0,\theta (t_(0))=\theta _(0),\theta ^(˙)(t_(0))=\omega _(0)Here,
Lis the length of the pendulum,
gacceleration due to gravity,
\theta the angle the pendulum makes with the vertical,
\theta _(0)the initial angular displacement, and
\omega _(0)the initial angular velocity. a) Transform the second-order initial-value problem into a system of first-order initial-value problems. b) Compute the angular displacement
\theta (0.2)and angular velocity
\theta ^(˙)(0.2)using the forward Euler method with step size
h=0.1. Use
L=0.5m,g=9.81(m)/(s^(2)),t_(0)=0,\theta _(0)=(\pi )/(4)rad, and
\omega _(0)
