But basically you're not transmitting any information.
The effects of entanglement are not due to any transfer of information (which would violate Einstein's special relativity).
The information is already contained in the whole system since the beginning.
Yes, 2N is clearly wrong.
As a matter of fact the force on the spring is zero, each mass applying a 1N force in opposite directions.
The whole point is the sentence in bold.
And the same happens on the bottom plate, where Mass 2 is pulled upwards by mass 1 pushing the bottom plate.
Let's say that the scale is regulated so that it provides a reading equal to the intensity of the force applied on one side of the spring.
The system is at rest, which means that each plate is applying on the respective mass a 1N force. At the same time each mass is applying to its plate an equal and opposite force.
If acceleration and velocity are perpendicular:
a1v1+a2v2=0
but that is nothing else than the time derivative of v2, that is speed is costant whenever a and v are perpendicular.
But I like G01 explanation. It focus on the physics of the system.
If force and velocity are perpendicular (forse...
