Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To sketch θ˙ vs t for θ' = γ - sinθ at different values of γ including limiting cases γ1, γ  >> 1.

Concept Introduction:

Overdamped pendulum is an example of a non-uniform oscillator.

The motion of an overdamped pendulum is governed by θ' = γ - sinθ, where θ is the angle between the pendulum and the downward vertical and γ is the ratio of applied torque to the maximum gravitational torque.
