Mathematical model for the coupled pendula problem

In this video, we introduce all notation, functions, and assumptions needed to construct our mathematical model for the coupled pendula problem. This work is built on our work with a single pendulum. We also discuss Hooke’s law as it relates to the behavior of the real spring connected to the McCusker apparatus. Viewers can find much more about the McCusker apparatus and an authentic modeling activity that gives rise to a standard eigenvalue problem in the real world on the support website for this project: http://www.appliedlinearalgebra.com/b...
