Week 4.1 - Solving second order ODEs
Code :-

l = 1; % Length of pendulum in m
m = 1; % Mass of pendulum in kg
b = 0.05; % Damping coefficient.
g = 9.81; % Gravity in m/s2
%Initial Condition of angular displacement
theta_0 = [0;3];
%Time Input
t_span = linspace(0,10,500);
%Function Call
[t,y] = ode45(@(t,theta) ode_func(t,theta,b,g,l,m),t_span,theta_0)
%Extracting element of from y array
theta = y(:,1);

%Initial value of counter variable

%Using for loop for the simulation of pendulum
for i = 1:length(t);
x0 = 0;
y0 = 0;
x1 = l*sin(y(i,1));
y1 = -l*cos(y(i,1));

%Pendulum Ball or bob

Function Code :-
function [dtheta_dt] = ode_fun(t,theta,b,g,l,m)
theta1 = theta(1);
theta2 = theta(2);
dtheta1_dt = theta2;
dtheta2_dt = -(b/m)*theta2-(g/l)*sin(theta1);
dtheta_dt = [dtheta1_dt;dtheta2_dt];
end
Output :-

Problems facing while writing the code :-

The error occured in the function as well as in code. I first tried to find the error by checking the command window but only few of them were resolved but rest of them were resolved one by one.
Output Fig1 :-
