Damped Harmonic Spring Calibration
Interactive RK4 spring physics solver comparing underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped UI motion curves.

Physical spring animations avoid fixed-duration easing curves by modeling velocity and restoring force (F = -k · (x - x₀) - c · v).
Use the sliders below to inspect how the damping ratio (ζ = c / (2 · √(k · m))) determines overshoot and 2% settling time.
