simulates a pulley to study it's kinematics/dynamics
Request download link when available
YP Atwood simulates a pulley (simple or double) driven by one or two suspended masses. Thisprogram is designed to study the kinematics and the dynamics of rotational motion with constantangular acceleration, and linear motion with constant acceleration.
During the animation, up to 5vectors (position, velocity, acceleration, tension and weight) and up to 7 graphs (position, velocity, acceleration, angular position, angular velocity, angular acceleration and energies vs time) can bedisplayed.
