A nonlinear spring has a restoring force which is proportional to the cube of the displacement x. The period T of oscillation from an initial displacement a is given by

T = 42 D. 0 1 (a* - x) - d.xUse the substitution x2 = a2 sin θ to transform this integral to

T= T = 22/0 a where Use the recurrence relation (r + 1)F(r) = (r + 2)F(r + 2) F(r) = to show that T= **/2 0and use the trapezium rule to evaluate this integral.

T = 42 D. 0 1 (a* - x) - d.x
