Aim
Investigation of a simple pulley system through comparison of experimental and theoretical models.
Introduction
The motion and mechanics of a pulley system all behave according to Newtonian mechanics. In theory, all moving objects should adhere to Newton's laws of motion - and so from equations derived from these laws, we can get a mathematical model which allows us to predict the motion of the object. One of the main objectives of this investigation is to find out how similar experimental data is to this model, at the same time accounting for any variation in the results.
