Varying value of stiffness

I have a problem trying to find a solution for the following equation,
I have a differential equation with a variant stiffness: K(t)
therefore:
mx''+k(t)x=F(t)
Any proposition for how to solve it ?
Thankyou

Try one of the standard ode solvers, say ode45. You of course will need to convert your problem to Cauchy form from a single 2nd order system to two first-order systems.
See odetovectorfield in the symbolic toolbox, although trivial by hand.
You will also need to know the exact form of k(t), and F(t), and the two initial conditions.
