linearizing a 2nd order ODE in matlab

I have this equation that needs to linearization
0.0099157 theta double dot + 0.0000781 beta double dot =0.54684 sin (theta)
is there a build in finction on matlab that can be pluged in the values or is there another way to solve it ?
Thank you!

Is beta double dot constant and are you solving for theta? Boundary conditions?
no beta is not constant but i forgot to add another equation which is
0.0000781 theta double dot + 0.0000781 beta double dot = tourque
i attached the full paper if any further information is needed

Hi,
Linearization of the given ODE can be done via Jacobian matrices that need to be derived.
Some good appropriate discussions are here:

Good luck.
