For each nonlinear equation of motion, linearize the equation and discuss the range of validity of the linearized equation. (For example: the linearized equation of motion has an x% error in the nonlinear term cos for > 0.) Analytically solve the linearized equations of motion and numerically solve the fully nonlinear equation using a program such as MATLAB.35 Plot the linear and nonlinear timehistories on the same graph and discuss the comparisons.
