Pendulum Motion I. The motion of a simple pendulum, consisting of a mass M at the end of a rod of length L., is described by the following first- order differential equation: do _ - g sin 0 d0 where w= angular velocity (rad/s) 0 = angle of displacement from equilibrium position g = 9.81 m/s² L = 1.0 m Calculate the angular velocity of the pendulum beginning with the initial conditions 0= 10°, a w= 0.3.

1: In this question we will study the damped harmonic oscillator. Consider the following spring-mass system. kr bà Figure 1: Spring-mass system with a friction force. That is, an object of mass m is attached at the end of a spring with spring-constant k. We will also consider the effect of friction. Friction works in the opposite direction of motion, as illustrated in the figure. A) Show that the differential equation governing the damped spring-mass system is: më = -bå – kx (1) dr and i = dt where i = dt2 b) To solve the differential equation (1), we will take the following ansatz: r(t) = Ae.
