SQRT Atan: Function Global G - CM K - CM M y - Pivot - Location String - Length C

This MATLAB function defines a system of differential equations that models the motion of a spring pendulum over time. It takes in the time and state vector, uses values from global variables to calculate the length and angle of the pendulum based on the x and y positions. It then returns the time derivatives of position and velocity based on spring force, gravity, and damping terms.
