2. Product Selection Target Audience:
People interested in learning a new physics concept
Students interested in physics or enrolled in physics classes, especially those who find torques/moments to be a difficult concept.
Choosing our Design:
Torque is sometimes hard to understand and visualize
Our app needed to be able to truly give a deeper understanding
Able to be implemented in a few months by college students

3. Conceptual Design Initial Design First Iteration Second Iteration
- Fulfilled requirements
- Simple interface
- Could be a good teaching tool
- Bare minimum
- Gave initial calculations
- Easily improved upon
- Improved interface
- Shows force components
- Persistent forces

4. Actual Design What we created: Why we chose this design:
Extremely easy to use interface
Force times distance visualization
Toolbox with six shapes to play with
“Workspace canvas” with zooming and panning
Why we chose this design:
It brought all of the components we wanted together, and fulfilled the goal we set for ourselves
How we made it:
HTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery.

6. Customer Feedback Samuel Pankratz, EF 157 student:
Sam received the initial details about the design enthusiastically. He was “excited to see torque acting on different shapes”
When presented with the final design, he was amazed by the simplicity of the product.
Sam stated, “this is way better than I thought it would be at first.”
Dustin Craig, comp. sci. student:
Dustin loved the clean, sleek look of the web app. He believed it looked professionally made.
He went on to say, “this is way overdone for a physics class. Y’all spent too much time on this.”
