Equation for the motion of a simple pendulum (without damping and external driving): d 2 θ dt 2 + g L sin θ = 0 where θ = the angle from the downward vertical, g = acceleration due to gravity and L = the length of the pendulum.
(Continued) Nondimensionalization: let ω = g L d 2 θ dt 2 + sin θ = 0 and τ = ωt. Then Coverting to a first order system of differential equations gives: dθ dt = v dv dt = d 2 θ dt 2 = sin θ
Composed of a simple pendulum with another pendulum hanging from its bob Positions of the bobs: x 1 = l 1 sin θ 1...1 y 1 = l 1 cos θ 1...2 x 2 = l 1 sin θ 1 + l 2 sin θ 2...3 y 2 = l 1 cos θ 1 l 2 cos θ 2...4
(Continued) Get the velocities by differentiating with respect to time: dx 1 dt = l dθ 1 1 dt cos θ 1...5 dy 1 dt = l dθ 1 1 dt sin θ 1...6 dx 2 dt = l dθ 1 1 dt cos θ dθ 2 1 + l 2 dt cos θ 2...7 dy 2 dt = l dθ 1 1 dt sin θ dθ 2 1 + l 2 dt sin θ 2...8

(Continued) Letting θ 1 and θ 2 be the angles of the two bobs with respect to the vertical and using the similar method as the simple pendulum, then the system of differential equations will be dθ 1 dt = v 1 dv 1 dt = 3g sin θ 1 g sin(θ 1 2θ 2 ) 2 sin(θ 1 θ 2 )(v 2 2 v 2 1 cos(θ 1 θ 2 3 cos(2θ 1 2θ 2 ) dθ 2 dt = v 2 dv 2 dt = 2 sin(θ 1 θ 2 )[2v 2 1 + 2g cos θ 1 + v 2 2 cos(θ 1 θ 2 )] 3 cos(2θ 1 2θ 2 )
