To solve the nonlinear ODE of a cart pole system in MATLAB, we first need to define the state variables and their derivatives. The state variables for a cart pole system are the position and velocity of the cart, and the angle and angular velocity of the pole. We can write the system of ODEs governing their dynamics using the laws of physics.

This is a function that takes in the time, state vector, system parameters (masses, lengths, coefficients), and a control input, and outputs the derivative of the state vector at that time. We can then use this function in the ode45
solver to obtain the time evolution of the system.
We can call the function by defining the system parameters and initial conditions, and then running the solver.

This will give us the time evolution of the system over 10 seconds. We can then plot the results to see the behavior of the cart pole system.

This will give us two plots showing the position and angle of the cart pole system over time. We can see that the system is unstable and the pole falls over unless we apply a control input to balance it.
