    Undergrad Does center of mass position affect falling time of a meter stick with attached weight?

    Yep, the two are attached so they can become one body. We can reimagine it as though it is a singular meter stick just so happens that the CM of the stick is not in its geometric centre. If it's okay, why would it be unpredictable? I mean what could be the factors influencing the motion of the...

    Undergrad Does center of mass position affect falling time of a meter stick with attached weight?

    The set-up of the system is like the following: The thing is, a weight was attached to the meter stick and it was placed in different locations. Then the system composed of the meter-stick and the added weight was then released and the time it took for the meter stick to hit the floor was...

    Graduate Equation for Brownian Motion Trajectory

    Indeed, the Langevin equation is useful in describing Brownian motion. Correct me if I am wrong, but is it that solving this differential equation yields for an equation of the mean-square displacement. This mean-square displacement which is a function of time is the analytical way to solve for...

    Graduate Equation for Brownian Motion Trajectory

    I am trying to understand how one can simulate the trajectory of a Brownian particle as a function of time. I am only able to do it with the assumption that I can simply generate random values of x and then take the cumulative sums of these values to get the trajectory of the Brownian particle...
