MIT OCW 8.01 PS10.6: A Massive Pulley and a Block on an Incline
Set up the force equations: (1) ##mgsin(\beta) - T = ma_{1}## (2) ##TR = I_{s}\alpha_{1}## Multiply (1) by ##R## and isolate ##TR##: ##R(mgsin(\beta) - T) = R(ma_{1})## ##mRgsin(\beta) - TR = mRa_{1}## ##TR = mRgsin(\beta) - mRa_{1}## Plug ##TR## into (2): ##TR = I_{s}\alpha_{1}##...- giodude

I Using Linear Algebra to discover unknown Forces
In classical mechanics, it seems like solving force equations are a question of finding a solvable system of equations that accounts for all existing forces and masses in question. Therefore, I'm curious if this can be mixed with reinforcement learning to create a game and reward function...- giodude

I Special Relativity & Non-Instantaneous Force Equations
In classical mechanics, the gravitational force is described by the equation: F = Gm1m2/r^2 What would this equation - or other similar equations - look like in special relativity? This equation cannot be correct because it implies that the force acts instantaneously.- Fascheue
