Atwood Designer

Pick the masses so the load rises exactly 4 m in 2 s. Then tables, inclines and friction.

Physics · Class 11 · Atwood machines · 8 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Make it 2 m/s²: One pull, two masses
  2. 4 m in 2 s: Kinematics first, then Newton
  3. Guess the tension: Find a, then look at one block
  4. Off the table: A hanging block pulls a block on a table
  5. Which way on the slope?: Compare the two pulls first
  6. Steady does it: Constant speed means zero net force
  7. Read the balance: What the pulley's support feels
  8. Double incline: Two slopes, one string
