Hey that was pretty neat, I liked your program. That thing you mentioned, about the table pushing on its x-axis, that was pretty interesting but I didn't fully understand it, why isn't the tension of the mass falling not enough? Is that because of the way it was programmed, something to do with how you separated it on those 3 parts on the program, or is that like in general in every atwood's machine-like system? I will do my homework and I'll play with the simulation, I'll try changing the spring constants as you mentioned because I also think it makes sense that they are bigger between the links as the final spring constant should be smaller as it is more flexible.
Instead of GlowScript of python, what if we could utilize OpenGl of Java or C++ to apply Langrangian solution along with rapid calculations of position and velocity by RK4 method. will that work ?
These videos have been so insightful and useful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This was a massive effort. It makes me look forward for multiple spheres simulation like gases or similar.
Nice! Can it be used for the chain fountain problem? Great stuff!
It seems possible - that would be a fun thing to model.
This will be fun to experiment with. I wonder if a varying spring constant with height would look good. Have to try that, fun things to work on. :)

Changing the spring constants in that way makes it explode nvm. I'll keep trying though.

Thanks for sharing. Suggest you add color to your balls to see what is happening: color=vector(random(),random(),random())
