Helix Formation with Elastic Rope: Equations of Motion for X(t) and (Theta)(t)

    Elastic Helix
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on deriving the equations of motion X(t) and Θ(t) for a system involving an elastic rope forming a helix, connecting two masses, one fixed. The setup includes N turns of the helix with a radius r and a natural length X_0 between the masses. The moment of inertia is given as I = mr², indicating the circular motion of the masses. Participants suggest that a diagram could clarify the complex relationships and dynamics involved. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise mathematical modeling to understand the motion of the system.

If I have an elastic formin a helix which I've turned N times and have a radiu r... it connect two masse m (one of them is fixed) - the natural length of the ropes are X_0 (the distance between the masses)
what are the equation of motion X(t) and (Theta)(t) ??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
this masses are cirular of radiu r, that is: I=mr²
 
ur english is really confusing, maybe u want to try drawing a diagram?

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
