Lab # 12
Objective:
Simulate a model of simple pendulum using Sim Mechanics libraries.

Lab Exercise
In order to build a simple pendulum, open Matlab, then SimMechanics and start a new model.
For the simple pendulum you need to drag and place the following components from the
SimMechanics library into the opened empty model.

Machine Environment
Ground
Revolute Joint
Body
Joint Sensor
MUX
Scope
XY Graph

Show the figure of the model developed

Place joint sensor on the revolute joint and measure the following parameters
Joint Angle
Joint Velocity
Plot the results on a scope
