Chapter 4.4, Problem 2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To sketch sinθ (t) vs. t by imagining the rotational motion of overdamped pendulum for a typical solution of $\text{θ' - γ - sinθ}$ and to make series of graphs for different values of $\text{γ}$ including limiting cases $\text{γ}$= 1 and $\text{γ}$>> 1

Concept Introduction:

Overdamped pen pendulum is pendulum on which a constant torque is applied and it is supposed to be in a very viscous fluid, so that the forces being applied on it are inertial force, viscous force, and gravitational force against the applied torque.
