Falling rod dynamics analysis. Falling Rod Leaning on a Wall model displays the dynamics of a falling rod that is initially leaning against a vertical wall. The rod is dropped from rest while its end points are in contact with a vertical wall and a horizontal table. Friction is neglected. Fall times and the trajectory of the end of the rod and its center of mass are calculated. The initial lean can be changed via a slider and using the Events checkbox pauses the simulation when the rod loses contact with the wall. You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.

A rod is dropped from rest while its end points remain in contact with the vertical wall and the horizontal table. Friction is neglected and it is assumed the rod remains in a vertical plane. The simulation allows computing fall times and trajectories.
You can select below the initial position of the rod by using the slider or entering the initial height h of its upper end.
