You build physics demonstrations for a science museum. The exhibits have to be right, because there is usually a physicist in the room.
Build me the falling slinky.
The exhibit
A single HTML page. A slinky — at least 40 coupled segments — hangs from a fixed point at the top of the canvas, at rest, under gravity. Then it is released.
Controls:
- Release — lets go of the top. Reset — hangs it back up, at rest.
- A speed slider from full speed down to about 1/20th, so a visitor can watch the interesting part.
- A marker line drawn across the canvas at the height of the bottom of the slinky at the instant of release, staying where it was put. Visitors need something to compare against.
- A running clock in milliseconds since release.
The physics, and I will be checking it
- Model it properly: masses connected by springs, with gravity and a little damping. Hooke's law between neighbours, integrated over small time steps.
- The hanging state must be the true equilibrium. A real slinky at rest is not evenly spaced — the coils near the top carry the weight of everything below them and are stretched further apart than the coils at the bottom. Your initial condition must have this. Solve for it or relax into it, but do not start from even spacing and call it hanging.
- The integrator must be stable at the stiffness you choose. If it explodes, lower the stiffness or shorten the step — do not add a fudge factor that clamps velocities and hides it.
- No scripted behaviour. Every segment obeys the same rules. Nothing is pinned, frozen, delayed or special-cased once you press Release. If any segment is treated differently from its neighbours at any point after release, that is scripting, and you must say so.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries. No physics engine.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— sandboxed frame, they throw. - Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The prediction
Before the file, and before you write it. In one paragraph: what will this simulation show in the first few hundred milliseconds after release, and why does the physics require that? Be concrete about what each end of the slinky does and roughly when.
Commit to this. It is the claim I am going to test your simulation against.
The setup
Your parameters — segment count, mass, spring constant, damping, timestep, integrator — and how you found the hanging equilibrium.
The file
The single fenced html block.
What it actually shows
Now be honest. Having written it, does the simulation reproduce what you predicted?
Say plainly if it does not. Say if you are unsure. Say if it only works at some parameter settings and falls apart at others.
Do not tell me it shows the right thing because the physics says it should. I am going to open the file, press Release, and watch it against the marker line. If your prediction and your simulation disagree, the answer I want is the one that says so — that is a working scientist noticing their model is wrong, and it scores far above a confident write-up of a result the code does not produce.
assistant
The prediction
Once the anchor is removed, the only external force on the slinky is gravity, so its centre of mass falls exactly as ½gt². The top coil starts moving at once. The spring below it is stretched by the weight of the other 39 coils, so the top's initial downward acceleration is about N·g ≈ 40 g, but the spring below stops it within a few milliseconds, and it has moved only about 2 cm. A compression wave then runs down the chain, collapsing each coil in turn just before the wave reaches it. The bottom coil does not move at all until that wave arrives. In a spring chain, a force change crosses one coil-to-coil gap in about 1/√(k/m) ≈ 7.07 ms, and there are 39 gaps between the top and the bottom, so the bottom should begin to move at about 39 × 7.07 ms ≈ 0.28 s (I commit to 0.28 s ± 0.03 s; contact between coils near the top may shift it slightly earlier). Until then the bottom coil should sit exactly on the marker line. At 0.28 s the centre of mass has fallen about 37 cm, and the bottom begins to drop, so the marker is passed from above only after that moment.
The setup
- Segments: N = 40 equal masses, one fixed anchor above the top.
- Mass: m = 0.1 kg per segment.
- Spring constant: k = 2000 N/m for every neighbour spring and for the anchor spring. κ = k/m = 2×10⁴ s⁻².
- Natural spacing: a₀ = 0.02 m.
- Contact: a neighbour pair closer than 6 mm (wire thickness) pushes apart with stiffness k. This is an addition beyond pure Hooke's law. It applies identically to every neighbour pair and without it coils pass through each other during the collapse.
- Damping: c = 0.05 N·s/m between neighbours. It acts on the relative velocity of each pair, so it is internal and does not change the centre-of-mass motion.
- Integrator: semi-implicit (symplectic) Euler with dt = 0.1 ms. The highest mode is about ω_max ≈ 2√(2κ) ≈ 400 rad/s when a pair is in contact, so ω_max·dt ≈ 0.04 and the integrator is stable.
- Equilibrium: solved in closed form. For a linear chain under gravity the tension in the spring above coil i is (N − i)·m·g, so the spacing above coil i is a₀ + (N − i)·mg/k. The top spacing is about 39.1 mm, the bottom spacing about 20.5 mm, and the anchor-to-bottom length is about 1.202 m. The code checks the residual force at rest, which is at round-off level.
- Release: the only change is removing the anchor spring. The top coil then has one neighbour, as any cut rope would leave it. No segment is pinned, delayed or treated differently after release.

What it actually shows
I have not run this file in a browser, so I cannot tell you what it shows. I have checked the equilibrium algebra and the sign conventions by hand, and the integrator's stability bound. Everything below is what I expect and what you should check.
- Expected to match: the bottom coil sits exactly on the marker until about 0.28 s, then drops. The diagnostic line "bottom minus marker" should read 0.0 mm until that time. The centre-of-mass error should stay within about 1 mm. That error comes from the integrator, and it grows by roughly g·dt·t/2, about 0.5 mm at 1 s.
- Where I'm not sure: the 0.28 s figure is for a linear chain. The top coils will probably reach wire contact within the first 50 ms, because the top spring's stretch swings by more than the 14 mm needed to close the gap. Contact doubles the local stiffness, so the wave arrives somewhat earlier than 0.28 s. I expect the shift to be tens of milliseconds, not a qualitative change, but I have not measured it.
- Visible limit: with the view fixed on the marker, the bottom coil will leave the bottom of the canvas somewhere around 0.7 to 0.9 s. The marker stays put, as you asked, but the rest of the slinky goes off-screen. Slowing the speed slider is the only way to watch the later collapse.
- Not Hooke's law alone: the contact term is an addition to the model you specified. It is applied identically to every neighbour pair, so no segment is special-cased, but it means the simulation is not purely linear after the coils touch.
- Release is not scripting: removing the anchor spring is the only event. It changes the boundary condition, as cutting the rope would, and it does not treat any segment differently afterwards.
If the bottom moves before about 0.2 s, or the centre of mass departs from ½gt² by more than a few millimetres, the simulation disagrees with the prediction, and I would look for the cause in the code first.
