new Spring(position, k, m, lengthOfSpring, oscAmp, mu)
Creates a Spring object. Consists of a spring with a block attached to the end.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
position |
p5.Vector | The origin of the Spring. |
k |
number | Spring coefficient. |
m |
number | Mass of the block attached to the spring. |
lengthOfSpring |
number | Length of the Spring in px. |
oscAmp |
number | Amplitude of the oscillation. |
mu |
number | Coefficient of friction. |
Properties:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
boxSize |
number | Length of the sides of the box attached to spring. |
lengthOfSpring |
number | The current length of the spring in pixels. |
noOfCoils |
number | The number of coils. Decorative. Odd numbers work best. (default: 11) |
transAmp |
number | Transverse amplitude. Decorative. (default: 15) |
tZero |
number | The start time in milliseconds. |
t |
number | Time. (default: 0) |
playing |
bool | Controls the state of the simulation. |
xCent |
number | x-coord for the center of the spring. |
yCent |
number | y-coord for the center of the spring. |
rotation |
radian | Angle of orientation. Use 0 for a horizontal spring, and PI/2 for a vertical one. |
oscamp |
number | The oscillation amplitude as a fraction of the lengthOfSpring. A value of 0.2 is recommended as it will be 1/5 the length of the spring. |
freq |
number | Calculates the frequency based on the spring constant k and the mass of the block m. |
equilibrium |
p5.Vector | The equilibrium point. |
displacement |
p5.Vector | The magnitude of displacement. |
velocity |
p5.Vector | The velocity. |
acceleration |
p5.Vector | The acceleration. |
Spring.update() |
method | Updates the Spring object. |
Spring.display() |
method | Displays the Spring object. |
