Simulation of simple pendulum motion by solving a second order differential equation using Matlab

CURVE FITTING Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve that has the best fit to a series of data points. The curve fit can be used to find points anywhere along the curve hence can help one to predict future values. Curve fitting involves interpolation and smoothing. Interpolation is where an exact fit to the…

DRAG FORCE Drag force is a force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of a body. It is caused by the resistance of fluid as the object moves through it. The formulae to calculate the drag force is. `D=1/2(c_d rho A v^2)` where: D=Drag Force  c_d=Drag coefficient rho=Density of fluid in which the body is moving…

Forward kinematics Of A 2R Robotic Arm A 2R robotic arm is a robot with two rotation joints. Forward kinematics is used in robotics to find the position of the end effector, by considering the orientation of the joint and starting from the base and working to the end effector. It is used to find the robot workspace. There…

SIMULATION OF SIMPLE PENDULUM MOTION BY SOLVING A SECOND ORDER ODE A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under influence of gravity. The model is shown in figure 1.   (figure 1)   The simple pendulum has a small-diameter bob and a string that has a  mass. The…
