Procedure:
The simulation will start to play on clicking the 'Power On' button. Now the string starts vibrating. Adjust the knife edges or the magnet to get the maximum vibration. At the maximum vibration the paper rider placed in the string will fall down. Repeat the same for different weight, radius, string material and environment. Using the Reset button you can reset the simulation.
