Mesin atwood(atwood machine)



The Atwood machine (or Atwood's machine) was invented in 1784 by Rev George Atwood as a laboratory experiment to verify the mechanical laws of uniformly accelerated motion. Atwood's machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of physics, specifically mechanics.
The ideal Atwood Machine consists of two objects of mass m1 and m2, connected by an inelastic massless string over an ideal massless pulley. When m1 = m2, the machine is in neutral equilibrium regardless of the position of the weights.
When m1 ≠ m2 both masses experience uniform acceleration.
