Hi,

Sounds like a pendulum to me - you want to work out the angular velocity, it's probably a good idea to start with something like below, then roughly simulate your gravity / angular velocity enough for it to look nice: http://www.myphysicslab.com/pendulum1.html

   If that does not work try Googling "pendulum" and "angular velocity".

hi guys

could anyone point me in the right direction to do the following, please?

I'd like an object that is dragged to correctly respond to being pulled
around by pivoting around the point it is dragged by (also applying downward
force to represent gravity)

for example, if i hold a pencil lightly at one end, it will pivot around the
point i am holding and swing until it comes to a rest pointing straight
down.

does anyone know of any tutorials that go into this kind of thing?

thanks for your help
