Modeling a Sliding Bead on a Frictionless Tilting Wire with Python

Показать описание
That title is terrible. So, there is this straight wire with a bead on it (no friction). The tilt of the wire changes. What is the motion of the bead?

I previously derived an expression for the acceleration using the Lagrangian - here is that video:

In this video, I model the motion with python.
Here is the code.

Here is my introduction to Lagrangian mechanics

Here is my introduction to numerical calculations

Really good and really good explanation of something many will find difficult
Good job
Hope this goes trending

This is really cool. 😁😁😁 Question: While playing around with it, were you able to find an omega, sdot combination for which the bead does not slide at all along the rod? I'm thinking there's such a combination. 😅😅😅

Thanks!
