Question
Inverted Pendulum Since the general solution of the linearized pendulum equation \(\ddot{x}+(g / L) x=0\) is the class of sinusoidal oscillations, for small displacements, the pendulum oscillates back and forth about its equilibrium point. The equation \(\ddot{x}+(g / L) x=0\) describes the inverted pendulum. (See Fig. 4.3.14(b).)
(a) Choosing g/L = 1, what is the motion of the inverted pendulum for \(x(0)=0 \text { and } \dot{x}(0)=1\)?
(b) Are there initial conditions that will make the inverted pendulum approach \(x=\dot{x}=0 \text { as } t \rightarrow \infty\)?
Solution
The first step in solving 4.3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Inverted Pendulum Since the general solution of the linearized pendulum equation \(\ddot{x}+(g / L) x=0\) is the class of sinusoidal oscillations, for small displacements, the pendulum oscillates back and forth about its equilibrium point.

From the textbook chapter Higher-Order Linear Differential Equations - Complex Characteristic Roots you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
