Pendulum Parameters

Going Left: Sound 01
Going Right: Sound 02

Instructions: Adjust the parameters above to change the pendulum behavior. Click anywhere on the pendulum simulation to freeze/unfreeze the animation. The timer stops completely when frozen.

Angle Display: Shows the current angle between the pendulum rod and the vertical equilibrium position.

Sound: Choose "Directional Sounds" to hear different sounds when the pendulum crosses equilibrium moving left vs right.
