Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a damped harmonic oscillator described by the equation 'm * x'' = -k * x - c * x' where m is the mass, k is the spring constant, and c is the damping coefficient. Describe how you would set up the RK4 method to simulate its behavior over time, given initial conditions.

💡 Hint: Start by clearly defining your variables and initial values!

Question 2

A financial model for stock price evolution is given by the differential equation 'dy/dt = r * y', where r is the rate of return. Apply the RK2 method to approximate the stock price at t = 1 year given y(0) = 100 and r = 0.05.

💡 Hint: Calculate your k values properly and follow through the RK2 steps!
