Torque (Bab 2)τ τ = M·g·L₂ − m·g·L₁ -- N·m

Arm ω (Bab 2)ω ω = √(2·τ·θ_swing / I) -- rad/s

Sling T (Bab 7)T T_sling = 2π√(L_s/g) -- s

Launch speed (Bab 3)v₀ v₀ = ω·(L₁ + L_s) -- m/s

Momentum (Bab 1)p J = Δp = m·v₀ -- N·s

Range (Bab 0)R R = v₀²·sin(2θ)/g -- m

Energy eff. (Bab 3)η η = ½mv₀² / (M·g·L₂·θ_swing) -- %

Chapters included: Bab 0 (Gerak Parabola), Bab 1 (Momentum & Impuls), Bab 2 (Torsi & Rotasi), Bab 3 (Energi), Bab 7 (Getaran Harmonik / Sling).
Chapters removed: Bab 4 (Fluida Statis) and Bab 5 (Fluida Dinamis/Bernoulli) — negligible effect on small dense projectiles; would require shape-specific aerodynamic parameters beyond scope of this simulation.
