Problem 2: Suppose the massless rod in the discussion of the nonlinear pendulum is a string of length 1. A mass m is attached to the end of the string and the pendulum. is released from rest at a small displacement angle 00> 0. When the pendulum. reaches the equilibrium position, the string hits a nail and gets caught at this point 1/4 above the mass. The mass oscillates from this new pivot point as shown in the figure. (a) Construct and solve a linear initial-value problem that gives the displacement angle, denote it 01(t), for 0≤t< T, where T represents the time when the string first hits the nail. (b) Find the time Tin part (a). (c) Construct and solve a linear initial-value problem that gives the displacement angle, denote it 02(t), for t≥T, where T' is the time in part (a). Compare the amplitude and period of oscillations in this case with that predicted by the initial-value problem in part (a). 00 nail U4

Problem 2: Suppose the massless rod in the discussion of the nonlinear pendulum is a string of
length 1. A mass m is attached to the end of the string and the pendulum. is released from rest at a
small displacement angle 00> 0. When the pendulum. reaches the equilibrium position, the string
hits a nail and gets caught at this point 1/4 above the mass. The mass oscillates from this new pivot
point as shown in the figure.
(a) Construct and solve a linear initial-value problem that gives the displacement angle, denote it
01(t), for 0 <t< T, where T represents the time when the string first hits the nail.
(b) Find the time T in part (a).
(c) Construct and solve a linear initial-value problem that gives the displacement angle, denote it
02(t), for t2T, where T' is the time in part (a). Compare the amplitude and period of oscillations in
