Laboratory Guidelines Disappears during rotation
  • 1. Use the sidebar sliders to customize the disc's Mass and physical Radius boundaries.
  • 2. Select either Force 1 or Force 2, then click and drag outwards directly from the orange centerline ruler to generate your force vector.
  • 3. Set the execution window duration time parameter, then click Play to run the simulation engine.
