HW6, Math 503, Summer 2007

By Nasser Abbasi

These are my first 2 simulations I've written using Mathemtica Manipulate:

First simulation of a pendulum which is being pulled up as it swings

Click on Shrinking Pendulum simulation (using Mathematics) (adobe flash file) (it will take 2-3 second for the simulation to start.)

To see the source code: [HTML, Mathematica notebook]

For the analytical solution for the above problem, see my HW solution [PDF, HTML]

Second simulation of a pendulum which swings attached to a hoop which rotates

This one is for pendulum bob which slides on a hoop as the hoop rotates. I've done a 2D and 3D simulation.

Below are couple of screen shots.

Here is an small AVI movie (5MB) showing part of simulation. demo_hoop2_c.avi

The Mathematica notebook is here prob9_2.nb

The source code can be seen here: prob9_2.html
