Help with second-order DE

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-22] [Hit: ]
t. time.This is what Ive come up with, but I dont believe its the right answer,--What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.......
A rotating objects motion can be described by its angle (θ). Given that an objects potential energy is U = 100(1-cosθ) and its kinetic energy is K = 10(dθ/dt)^2, form a second-order differential equation. Note that Total Energy = P + K, and that total energy does not change w.r.t. time.

This is what I've come up with, but I don't believe it's the right answer,

E=U+K
E= 100(1-cosθ) + 10(dθ/dt)^2
d(E)/dt = d/dt (100(1-cosθ)) + d/dt (10(dθ/dt)^2)
0 = 100sinθ + 20(dθ/dt)(d^2θ/dt^2)
-100sinθ = 20(dθ/dt)(d^2θ/dt^2)
-5sinθ =(dθ/dt)(d^2θ/dt^2)


--What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

U = 100 - 100 cos θ
dU/dt = 100 sin θ dθ/dt

K = 10(dθ/dt)²
dK/dt = 20 dθ/dt d²θ/dt²

dE/dt = 0

d(U + K)/dt = dU/dt + dK/dt

100 sin θ dθ/dt + 20 dθ/dt d²θ/dt² = 0
( obvious condition dθ/dt ≠ 0 )
d²θ/dt² + 5 sin θ = 0
