Simple pendulum #2

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 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 [slider], and so illustrate the resulting responses of this system.
Drag the mass to modify its initial angle.
