Use the fourth order Runge Kutta algortihm to solve the equation of the harmonic oscillator with viscous friction.

• Examine the following cases:
  • 
  • 
  • 
  • 

• Can you think of physical systems corresponding to each configuration?

• Modify the given source code so you can determine the energy, and the energy loss of the system in time.

Some source code available in: C, Fortran

You can view four plots showing typical results to expect from your investigation.

Or you can create plots and soundfiles for this physical system using our code and plotting routine.
