Atwood's machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of classical mechanics. The ideal Atwood machine consists of two objects of mass m 1 and m 2, connected by an inextensible massless string over an ideal massless pulley. [1] Both masses experience uniform acceleration. When m 1 = m 2, the machine is in neutral ...
The swinging Atwood's machine (SAM) is a mechanism that resembles a simple Atwood's machine except that one of the masses is allowed to swing in a two-dimensional plane, producing a dynamical system that is chaotic for some system parameters and initial conditions.
Mary Tsingou (married name: Mary Tsingou-Menzel; born October 14, 1928) is an American physicist and mathematician of Greek-Bulgarian descent. [1] She was one of the first programmers on the MANIAC computer at Los Alamos National Laboratory and is best known for having coded the celebrated computer experiment with Enrico Fermi, John Pasta, and Stanislaw Ulam.
George Atwood FRS (c. October 1745 – 11 July 1807) was an English mathematician who invented the Atwood machine for illustrating the effects of Newton's laws of motion. He was also a renowned chess player whose skill for recording many games of his own and of other players, including François-André Danican Philidor , the leading master of ...
In physics, the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou (FPUT) problem or formerly the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem was the apparent paradox in chaos theory that many complicated enough physical systems exhibited almost exactly periodic behavior – called Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou recurrence (or Fermi–Pasta–Ulam recurrence) – instead of the expected ergodic behavior.
Investigators from the Kentucky Attorney General's Office responded to a voting center in Laurel County on Thursday after a video showing a ballot-marking machine selecting the wrong option ...
A viral video shared on X claims there is a nationwide issue with Dominion Voter Access Terminals. Verdict: False The claim is false. The issue is not nationwide, but limited to only Michigan ...
This, from the section on elevators, is wrong, " it has to overcome only weight difference and inertia of the two masses." The basic principle of the Atwood Machine is that the inertia of both masses still has to be overcome. I would change it but have been topic banned in other areas and have found some editors to be rather nasty.
