Newton's Cradle Animated Design With Html & CSS

  • Share this:

I hope everyone is well and enjoys learning web design. Last time we make a calculator with HTML, CSS & JavaScript. If you are new here then go to and make a calculator from this link and follow coding.
 
Now we will design "Newton's Cradle" using Html and CSS. You have to need to create an HTML and a CSS file. So let's go -

Step 1: Create an HTML file

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Newton's Css Cradle</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="cradle">
      <div class="floor"></div>

      <div class="wood base">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
        <div class="top">
          <div class="shadow"></div>
          <div class="shadow"></div>
          <div class="shadow"></div>
          <div class="shadow"></div>
          <div class="shadow"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood poll">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood poll">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood poll">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood poll">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood strecher">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front dots"></div>
        <div class="back"></div>
        <div class="top"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="wood strecher">
        <div class="left"></div>
        <div class="right"></div>
        <div class="front"></div>
        <div class="back dots"></div>
        <div class="top"></div>
      </div>

      <div class="ballPlate">
        <div class="ballWrapper">
          <div class="ball"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="line"></div>
        <div class="line"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="ballPlate">
        <div class="ballWrapper">
          <div class="ball"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="line"></div>
        <div class="line"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="ballPlate">
        <div class="ballWrapper">
          <div class="ball"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="line"></div>
        <div class="line"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="ballPlate">
        <div class="ballWrapper">
          <div class="ball"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="line"></div>
        <div class="line"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="ballPlate">
        <div class="ballWrapper">
          <div class="ball"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="line"></div>
        <div class="line"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

 

Step 2: Create a CSS file to style your design.
