The Realistic Pendulum


Create your own graph of the realistic pendulum. Just specify the parameters in the input fields below, choose if you want a plot angle vs. time, angular velocity vs. time or a phase space plot(angle vs. angular velocity) and click on "Create Plot".
You get a .gif file (5K), missing or wrong parameters (maximum<0) are replaced with default values.
