amazing !
Amazing to use scripts to demonstrate this ! Not sure this recipe will help us gain points, but, at least, there is something artistic and funny. A real game with no purpose. No purpose can help creativity. That's why I like it.

Hooke's Law for springs is F = k x
where F is the magnitude of the force exerted by the spring,
k is the spring constant for the spring,
and x is the distance the spring has stretched from its equilibrium position.
This recipe freezes most of the protein and then uses bands stretched in opposite directions,
making a tug-of-war on the protein.
By varying the strength of the bands, this recipe gives different equilibrium lengths for the bands.
This recipe shows that the strength of a band squared equals the band's spring constant.
This recipe also shows that if two bands pull in the same direction,
their spring constants (k1 and k2) add together to give the combined spring constant ktotal.
This means that if the two bands have strengths str1 and str2,
ktotal = k1+k2 = str1^2 + str2^2 = strtotal^2,
and this gives a combined band strength of strtotal = sqrt(str1^2 + str2^2).
