Hanging mass

Spring stiffness

N/m

Keep this fixed while gathering data for one spring.

Gravity

m/s²

Release displacement from equilibrium

Pull the mass on the diagram, then let go. Travel is limited to keep spring extension between 0 and 1 m.

Damping ratio

0: keeps oscillating · 1: returns without oscillating.

Live controls respond without restarting. Changes to initial conditions begin a new trial. Your notebook and view zoom are kept.
