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
In the first tens of milliseconds after Release, only the top end will move: the top node loses its support force but is still pulled downward by the highly stretched upper spring, so its initial acceleration is about (41g), while the bottom node’s spring tension exactly balances its weight, so its initial acceleration is zero. Thus the bottom end should stay on the red marker while the top visibly collapses downward. The loss of tension propagates down the chain at the finite spring-wave speed; with 40 segments and the chosen stiffness the traversal time is about 0.35 s. So I expect the bottom to remain essentially at the marker through the first 0.2–0.3 s and to begin falling noticeably around 0.30–0.35 s, after which the whole slinky falls with centre-of-mass acceleration (g).
The setup
- Discretisation: 41 point masses, giving 40 spring segments.
- Mass per node: (M = 0.020\ \text{kg}).
- Gravity: (G = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2).
- Natural length per segment: (L_0 = 0.010\ \text{m}).
- Target hanging length: top node to bottom node (= 1.00\ \text{m}).
- Spring constant: solved from the static hanging condition,
[ K = \frac{(40\cdot41/2)MG}{1.00 - 40L_0} \approx 268\ \text{N/m}. ] - Damping: small dashpot in each spring, (C = 0.10\ \text{N·s/m}), acting on relative velocity of neighbouring nodes.
- Integrator: semi-implicit Euler with fixed step
[ \Delta t = 2\times 10^{-5}\ \text{s}. ] The highest normal-mode frequency is roughly (2\sqrt{K/M}\approx 232\ \text{rad/s}), so the stability limit is of order (0.008\ \text{s}); the chosen step is far smaller. - Hanging equilibrium: solved analytically, not relaxed. For the spring between node (i-1) and node (i), the static extension is
[ \Delta_i = \frac{(41-i)MG}{K}. ] This makes upper segments carry more weight and stretch more than lower segments. - Release: the top constraint is removed. After that, every mass obeys the same force law: gravity plus identical neighbour spring/dashpot forces. The ends have only one neighbour because they are ends, not because they are special-cased.

What it actually shows
As far as I can verify by construction, yes for the first few hundred milliseconds. The initial state is the exact non-uniform static solution, so at the instant of release the bottom node has zero net force and the top node is the only node with an unbalanced force. After release there is no constraint, no frozen node, and no delayed script: the bottom node can only move because its neighbouring spring changes force, so it should remain essentially on the marker until the disturbance reaches it.
I am confident about the qualitative behaviour and the stability at the default parameters. I am less certain about millisecond precision in the exact moment the bottom first visibly leaves the marker: the release is a large-amplitude event, and the discrete chain has tiny precursors and numerical dispersion. The predicted visible departure should be around 0.30–0.35 s, but a somewhat earlier or later first visible motion would not surprise me.
The later motion is where the model is least like a real slinky. The springs are ideal Hookean springs and can push as well as pull, and the damping is deliberately small, so after the collapse front passes the chain may oscillate rather than settling into a dead lump. That is a limitation of the chosen ideal mass-spring model, not scripted behaviour.
