solving the pendulum differential equation with a for loop
Show older comments
Hi I'm trying to write down a code that solves the equation of the pendulum in the hyp of little swings.
The task is to write it with a for loop without using the ODEs functions.
the code i wrote obviusly doesn't work.
Does someone could help me?
equation of pendulum:
l*diff(c,t,2)+g*c==0
code I wrote:
l=50; %rope length
g=9.81; %g constant
t=0; %time
syms c;
Dc= diff(c,t);
cond= [c(0)==0, Dc(0)==0.1]; %initial conditions
T=7.5*pi*sqrt(l/g);
n=linspace(0, T, 1000);
for i=1:n %I need the c value at every 't' from 0 to T with 1000 points
t= i;
ode = l*diff(c,t,2)+g*c==0;
sol=dsolve(ode,cond);
%sol=dsolve(ode);
end
