(a)

(b)

2. Compute the integrals given in equation (5.1.10). You may use the int function of the Matlab. Use dummy variables while performing double and triple integration. Also write a Matlab code using 12 point Gauss-Quadrature and compare the results. Find the coefficients of the temporal equation of motion.

3.Solve the frequency response equation obtained from the Duffing equation which is quadratic in terms of the detuning parameter and 6 th order in terms of amplitude of the response.

4. Use Runge-Kutte method (may use ode45 function of Matlab) to obtain the time response of the following equations.
