Hard and Soft Springs
The restoring force is given by
F (x) = kx + k1 x3 , k > 0
The spring is hard if k1 >0
The spring is soft if k1 <0
Nonlinear Pendulum

, a simple pendulum is a special case of the physical pendulum and consists
of a rod of length l to which a mass m is attached at one end\
the angular acceleration is

For Newton's second law

Equate the the two different versions of the tangential force to obtain
d2 θ g
+ sin θ = 0
dt2 l
If we assume that the displacements θ are small enough to justify using the
replacement sin θ ≈ θ then

+ θ=0

the firs order differential equation gives

Since W = ρs
dy ρs
=
dx T1
Since the arc length between points P1 and P2 is given by
