A computer-based revitalization of Atwood's machine

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Atwood's machine is used in a microcomputer-based experiment to demonstrate Newton's second law with considerable precision. The friction force on the masses and the moment of inertia of the pulley can also be estimated.
