Pendulum with Rotating Pivot

This Demonstration shows a special case of the damped and driven double pendulum The suspension point pivot of a pendulum of length and bob mass is attached to a crank of length rotating at a constant angular speed The damping coefficient of the system is To limit the number of parameters we take and the starting position of the bob at Then the equation of motion is The animation traces the movement of the pendulum bob
