An Atwood machine consists of two masses m1 and m2 (with m1 > m2 ) attached to the ends of a light string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. When the masses are released, the mass m1 is easily shown to accelerate down with an acceleration a = g*(m1+m2)/)m1−m2 Suppose that m and are measured as m1 = 100 +- 1 gram and m2 = 50 +- 1 gram. Derive a formula of uncertainty in the expected acceleration in terms of the masses and their uncertainties, then calculate the error of a for the given numbers.

Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light cord that passes over a pulley of mass M, as shown. Block m2 slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks and pulley are initially at rest. When m1 is released, the blocks accelerate and the pulley rotates. The total angular momentum of the system of the two blocks and the pulley relative to the axis of rotation of the pulley isthe same at all times.proportional to I1,...
