Length (m)
Effective string length; longer strings swing more slowly in the simplified pendulum model.

Simple String
Model a tendon, ligament, or simple string as a pendulum to see how length, gravity, and damping shape oscillations after a disturbance.

Parameter definitions
Gravity (m/s^2)
Downward acceleration that restores the bob toward vertical.
Damping (relative)
Rate at which oscillation amplitude fades over time.
Concepts
Length and period
Longer pendulums tend to swing more slowly, while damping drains energy from each cycle.
Experiments
- Increase length while keeping gravity and damping fixed.
The simplified string should swing with a slower period.
