NTNU Java: Frictional force

Detail Page «

Website Detail Page

written by Fu-Kwun Hwang

This applet illustrates the effect of frictional forces on the motion of masses. In this experiment, two masses, resting one on top of the other, are pulled by a hanging mass connected by an ideal rope. Masses and friction can be changed. Different force vectors are color-coded.

Please note that this resource requires Java.
