Description
A simple pendulum, which most of us have encountered in a Physics class, can be described with certain equations depending on what you are trying to discover. Whether it be the period, frequency, or solving for the length of the pendulum. However what may not be realized is where exactly these equations come from. The answer is Differential Equations. What will be covered in this presentation is how these equations are derived with the applications of differential equations. Furthermore, we will discuss how the simple pendulum system can be applied in the world around us.
