Inverted Pendulum and Rocket

Relevant Equations

No one.

I'm doing my homework about the Inverted Pendulum and I'd like to know how a rocket flies and why it's related to an Inverted Pendulum.

What research have you done on this so far? What have you found out?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

You CAN answer with something like "I don' know" but that's a bit dangerous because in the extreme, that sounds a lot like "I don't know and I'm too lazy to try to find out and I just want you to tell me so I don't have to bother."

Oh, sure. Sorry and thanks for the warning!
