Description
Atwood Machine
The Atwood machine is often used to demonstrate the effects of gravity and the relationship between masses and acceleration. The setup allows for the examination of how the masses move and how their acceleration is affected by the difference in their values.When the masses are unequal, the heavier mass will accelerate downward, while the lighter mass accelerates upward. The direction of the acceleration depends on which mass is heavier. The acceleration of the system can be calculated using Newton’s second law of motion.
