Project Proposal: Tearing Cloth

I propose returning to the springy structures project to create a cloth simulation. In this cloth simulation the cloth will be capable of tearing when the springs are stretched to a significant length. In the simulation, the user will be able to launch balls of varying mass at a suspended piece of cloth. A ball that does not hit the cloth with sufficient force will bounce off of it. A ball that does hit the cloth with enough force will cause the cloth to rip.
