The Spring

The TCLET -- Instructions:

This Tclet shows the movement of a spring.

• Set a new value for mass m.
• Drag the weight to a desired initial position.
• Set new values for damping constant c, and time t (s).
• Press "Start" and see the spring in motion.
• Press "Pause" to interrupt the motion.
• New buttons "New Trial" and "Continue" will be configured as the TCLET runs.
• If the movement is finished (i.e. t = 0.0), press "Start" again to continue the movement.
• Press "New Trial" if you want to set new values and start a new motion.
