🪢 Rope Swing Release Lab: Optimal Angle, Tension and Large-Angle Period

Large-angle pendulum rope swing across a canyon: find the release angle that maximises range, watch rope tension and compare the measured period with the elliptic-integral formula.

⚙ Under the hood

A rope swing across a canyon modelled as a large-angle pendulum with air drag: choose when to let go, see the rope tension, and run experiments that find the release angle for maximum range and compare the measured period with the exact elliptic-integral value.
