Question

Name:livin Fomtain Measuring g with the Atwood Machine with a stopwatch 1. Use a free-body diagram to help you derive the acceleration gravity& for mass-less strings and pulleys in term of acceleration a, and masses m and m2 where m, >m2 g| 2. Fill out Table I with values of g for sets of mi and m,. Am-m-m [or print out from Excel]. Determine the time it takes for m, to fall through a fixed height h and obtain a and from kinematics for each set of m and m. [Note: make t as large as possible with a large h and small A (mstm) Table I. observations and calculation of g

Explanation / Answer

This graph will tell you the relation between the difference of both masses and acceleration a ie variation in acceleration when mass is changed.

Y intercept is that value of acceleration when difference of mass will be zero is m1=m2.

It cant be negative as acceleration will be zero when difference in mass is zero. And as m1-m2 is always greater than zero so acceleration will always be positive
