- 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.
- Learning objectives
- To simulate all the transient solutions of a second order differential equation.
- To plot the graph of the angle in real time.
- How to use the animation
Drag the mass to modify its initial angle.
