programs with larger step size. So you have to decide which is the best step size you can use for<br />
a given problem.<br />
In order to solve for different values of ξ, calculate the values of ‘c/m’ for each value of ξ.<br />
Substitute each value of ξ <strong>in</strong> the function file, which has the derivatives, save the file <strong>and</strong> then<br />
run the ma<strong>in</strong> program to view the result. This process might be too tedious. The code can be<br />
made more efficient by <strong>in</strong>corporat<strong>in</strong>g a ‘For loop’ for the various values of zeta.<br />
In the above code ‘y(:,1) represents the displacement ‘x’. To plot the velocity, change the<br />
variable <strong>in</strong> the plot comm<strong>and</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e to ‘y(:,2)’.<br />
The plot is attached below
