It is Sin[] not sin[]. Mathematica is Case Sensitive.
It is better to write things in more lines than one so
it is easier to read and modify.
--------------------------
eq1 = ph1''[t] + ph1'[t] + Sin[ph1[t]] - mu[t] - mu'[t] == 0.005;
eq2 = ph2''[t] + ph2'[t] + Sin[ph2[t]] + mu[t] + mu'[t] == 0.005;
eq3 = 0.2 mu'[t] + mu[t] == ph1'[t] - ph2'[t];
ic = {ph2[0] == 0, ph1[0] == 0, ph2'[0] == 0, ph1'[0] == 0,mu[0] == 0};
s = NDSolve[Flatten@{eq1, eq2, eq3, ic},
{ph1[t], ph2[t], mu[t]}, {t, 0.01,5000}]
--------------------------------
{{ph1[t] -> InterpolatingFunction[][t],
ph2[t] -> InterpolatingFunction[][t],
mu[t] -> InterpolatingFunction[][t]}}
From the warning messages I see, this looks like a stiff system,
you might want to look into using options to handle this.
see NDSolve documentation for more information on this.
