It sounds like you have to play with your browser settings. Can you view YouTube videos? the same video at YouTube is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K1sB05pE0A

Thank you for your valuable input.
but my question is ,how can we open the "Secant Approximation" animation link in browser?

anonymous · Answer

It is a Java applet, and the web browser nowadays considers it unsafe and do not run it by default. You need to find and open the Java Control Panel, find the security settings and permit execution of all applets from http://ocw.mit.edu. Restart the browser after that. The Secant Approximation applet does work with the latest Java 8 on a Mac.
