# This example simulates a bead sliding on a smooth circular wire. The # output displays the height of the bead as a function of time. There is # viscous damping, so the bead should settle toward the equilibrium point # (i.e. ordinate = 0). # You may run this example by doing: # # ode < viscous.ode | graph -T X -C # # or alternatively, to get a real-time plot, # # ode < viscous.ode | graph -T X -C -x 0 20 -y 0 2.5 a = 1 # radius of circular wire g = 10 # acceleration due to gravity w = 10 # angular velocity of circular wire b = 1 # damping coefficient the' = vthe vthe' = (w^2)*sin(the)*cos(the) - (g/a)*sin(the) - b * vthe the = 0.1 vthe = 0 print t, the step 0, 20
