Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

on frictionless bearings. The other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. Using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the Lagrangian and use the Lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. Explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = \frac{4m}{2} x^2  + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2

T = 4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = -4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = 4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

A projector is placed on the ground 22 ft. away from a projector screen. A 5.2 ft. tall person is walking toward the screen at a
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet,   y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

         tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

         tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

         y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

         y = y₀  L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

         v = d / t

        d = v t

we replace

         y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

         y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

         y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

           y = 114.4 / (22-13)

           y = 67.6 feet

What are the three ways that a person can manipulate light?
BARSIC [14]

The three ways a person can manipulate light would be the following:, filter, and the time the photograph is taken

 

<span>1.    </span>Angle - <span>The </span>camera angle<span> <span>marks the specific location at which the movie </span></span>camera<span> <span>or video </span></span>camera<span> is placed to take a shot.</span>

<span>2.    </span>Filter - Camera<span> <span>lens </span></span>filters<span> <span>still have many uses in digital photography, and should be an important part of any photographer's </span></span>camera<span> bag.</span>

<span>3.    </span>Time the photograph is taken - The golden hour, sometimes called the "magic hour", is roughly the first hour of light after sunrise, and the last hour of light before sunset, although the exact duration varies between seasons. During these times the sun is low in the sky, producing a soft, diffused light which is much more flattering than the harsh midday sun that so many of us are used to shooting in.

 

I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
