Transcribed Image Text:2. A pendulum is a mechanical system in which a mass m
is attached to a massless incxtensible string of length
which is in turn connected to a frictionless pivot, as
shown at right.
The swing angle (t) of the pendulum satisfies the
second-order nonlinear differential equation

(a) If the mass m is initally at rest at an angle of — T/6 degrees, solve the differ-
ential equation (1) to find v = v(8).
(b) Given that

integrate both sides of this separable differential equation to find the general
solution tt(0) in the form of an integral (with respect to 0).
(c) Hence, write down a definite integral for the period 7' of the pendulum (that is,
the time for the mass m to complete one full swing and return to its starting
position. (Note: v <0 on this section because is decreasing.)
(Hint: The period is four times the amount of time it takes for the mass to reach
the "vertically down" position from the starting position. You should integrate
(2) from the starting point (- 0, 0 = π/6) to the "vertically down" position
(t-T/4, 0-0). Note: v <0 on this section because is decreasing.)
(d) If = 1.6 metres, use Simpson's rule with four strips to estimate T. (Note: You
should assume, for simplicity, that g = 10.)
