create a circular movement animation representing torque, from drumsticks moving in matlab

To create a circular movement animation representing torque using drumsticks in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Define the parameters:

   • Angle range: Determine the range of angles for the circular movement. For example, you can set the range from 0 to 2*pi to complete a full circle.
   • Torque: Specify the torque value to control the speed and force of the rotation.
   • Radius: Determine the radius of the circular path.

2. Create a figure and axes:

   main.m
   figure;
   ax = gca;

3. Set the axis limits based on the radius:

   main.m
   axis([-radius radius -radius radius]);

   2 lines

4. Set the aspect ratio to equal:

   main.m
   axis equal;

5. Define the coordinates of the drumsticks:

   main.m
   x = [0, 0];     % x-coordinates of drumsticks
   y = [-radius, radius];     % y-coordinates of drumsticks

6. Initialize the angle variable:

   main.m
   angle = 0;

   2 lines

7. Start an animation loop:

   main.m
   while true
       % Update the angle
       angle = angle + torque;
   
       % Update the x-coordinates of the drumsticks
       x(1) = radius * sin(angle);
       x(2) = -radius * sin(angle);
   
       % Clear the axes
       cla(ax);
   
       % Plot the drumsticks
       plot(ax, x, y, 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);   
   
       % Pause for a short duration to control the animation speed
       pause(0.01);
   end

8. Run the code and observe the animation of the drumsticks moving in a circular path representing torque.

Make sure to adjust the parameters (angle range, torque, and radius) according to your specific animation requirements.
