3a) with gamma = 0, c = 0, the equation becomes: mL * theta'' + mg * sin(theta) = 0, so theta'' + g/L * sin(theta) = 0, where g/L = omega^2, for omega = fundamental frequency. 3b) Using forward euler's method, I applied it to this problem by rewriting the 2nd order ODE as a system of 1st order ODE's. d/dt [ theta, y ] = f( [ theta , y ] , t) where y = d(theta)/dt So: z_{n+1} = z_n + dt*f(z_n,t_n) or theta_{n+1} = theta_n + dt*y_n y_{n+1} = y_n + dt*{ -c/m*y_n - g/L*sin(theta_n) + gamma cos(omega*t_n) } 3c) graph of refinement study is refinementC.ps 3d) graph of refinement study given in refinementD.ps In both cases, the convergence was O(h^2).
