Simple pendulum #2

Ages

Introduction

Summary

 The transitional  states of the pendulum. The graph indicates the changes in the angle of the simple pendulum as a function of time. You can choose one of 5 damping ratios with the , and so  illustrate the resulting responses of this system.
Drag the mass to modify its initial angle.

Goals

• To simulate all the transient solutions of a second order differential equation.
• To plot the graph of the angle in real time.

Features

Drag the mass to modify its initial angle.
