The Vibrating String Program:

• Designed to simulate a physical system that can be realized in the lab — a vibrating string (a slinky will also do).

• A set of points along the string are selected with mouse clicks and dragged up or down to pluck the string.

• Sliders allow the string tension, mass per unit length, and transverse velocity to be specified at each selected point.

• Intermediate values are interpolated.
