Analyze real-time forces, variables, and conservation formulas. Tune parameters instantly below, or launch the complete simulation into the workspace with a single click.
Same formula the stick figure above was drowning in — except this one is parsed and evaluated live by the same math engine behind the full Formula Playground. Drag a parameter and the wire reshapes under the bead, mid-swing, computed frame by frame. Nothing here is faked to look right.
Bead-on-a-wire mechanics: (1+f'²)x″ + f'f″(x')² + g·f' = 0 — solved for x″ every substep, not animated by hand.
