I figured out that a rocket can use the example from Inverted Pendulum at its launch. But I'm not sure and I'd like some help. I'm doing Scientific research about the Inverted Pendulum, that's why.phinds said:

Yes, that's right. I want to know how it works to use as an example to my Scientific Research. I know that an Inverted Pendulum it's used to do this, but I don't know how.berkeman said:Welcome to PF.
Not just at launch... At which end of an inverted pendulum do you support it? At which end of a rocket does the thrust happen?
What do the control equations look like for supporting an inverted pendulum? What do the control equations look like for gimballing a rocket motor?
As mentioned already by @phinds, we expect you to do this research and post links here to your reading. If there are things in that reading that you do not understand, we can try to explain those things to help you undstand. Please do that reading and get back to us. Thank you.Zenon said:
Since you are new, I'll point out to you that on this forum when someone asks you a question, or questions, as berkeman did in post #4, it is not acceptable to just repeat your own question or ask a new qustion. FIRST, you are expected to at least attempt to answer the question(s) asked of you.Zenon said:
Oh, sure. Sorry and thanks for the warning!phinds said:
A rocket is a type of spacecraft that is propelled through the atmosphere and into outer space by the force of its own engines.
An Inverted Pendulum is a mechanical system that consists of a pendulum that is mounted on a pivot point and is able to balance itself in an inverted position.
Rockets and Inverted Pendulums are related in that both use a combination of thrust and control mechanisms to maintain stability and control their movements. Inverted Pendulums are often used in the design and testing of rocket control systems.
Yes, Inverted Pendulums can be used to simulate rocket launches in a controlled environment. By adjusting the parameters of the pendulum, scientists and engineers can mimic the movements and forces experienced by a rocket during launch.
Studying the relationship between rockets and Inverted Pendulums can provide valuable insights into the dynamics and control of complex systems. It can also aid in the development and improvement of rocket technology and contribute to advancements in space exploration.
