Info

The new version is basically good to go, but it has some chaotic behaviors (good tie-in to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge video) at around half speed (slow and fast work well though):

The frequency of a driving force on a spring can be varied to above, below, and (watch out!) at resonance. A mass hangs at the bottom of the spring, and it can be suspended in water to show the effect of damping.
