Press the setup button, then go . Press go again to stop. Press setup again to reset.

Let the sim run until resonance builds up. What is the wavelength? How many resonant peaks are in the wave tank? Reset, and set the stiffness to 1.4 . How is this resonance different from the original resonance? Set stiffness to 1.6 and run the sim again. Keep track of the different behaviors and explain the different behaviors clearly. Try other values like 1.7 , 2 and 3 . You may need to increase driver amplitude to make sense of the higher values for the stiffness parameter.
