SIMPLE PENDULUM One of the classical example for a second order ordinary differential equation is the motion of the bob of a simple pendulum. From Newton's 2nd law, we can get the motion of the bob of a simple pendulum as a Second order ODE as below: `(d^2θ) /(d t^2) +(b/m)* (dθ) /( d t) +(g/L)* sin ( θ…
