Investigation of a simple pulley system through comparison of experimental and theoretical models.
theoretical models.IntroductionThe motion and mechanics of a pulley system all behave according to Newtonian mechanics. In theory, all moving objects should adhere to Newton's laws of motion - and so ... the string should be uniform throughout the system, and the weights of the masses should conform to Newton's second law of motion. By assuming the downward motion of m2, and hence a clockwise motion o ...
