Simple pendulum #1

Learning objectives

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

The graph indicates the time evolution of the angle for the simple pendulum. You can regulate the major parameters.

This allows you to simulate extra-terrestrial values of "g" (g = 1.6 on the Moon and g = 27 on Jupiter).
You can illustrate the transient responses of this system (SHM, damped ...)
Drag the mass to adjust new initial conditions.
