Abstract. Restrictions matter of this report is to know about Newton's laws I and II, the
effect of the acceleration of gravity and understanding of the pulley. The purpose of this
experiment is to know Newton's laws, calculate the acceleration of gravity, and know the
pulley system. The methodology used this time no direct experiments using T pole Atwood
machine to conduct experiments. From the results in the can, the authors conclude
experimental Atwood machine is a tool that is often used to observe the laws of mechanics to
uniformly accelerated motion. Simply put Atwood plane is composed of two objects
connected by a wire/rope. Acceleration that occurs is influenced by the mass of the load. The
greater the mass of the load acceleration that occurs would be even greater. T pole should the
correct position - vertical right because if not then there will be an additional force acting on
the Atwood machine experiment.
KEY WORDS: Acceleration, Atwood Machine, Newton’s Law, Pulley.
INTRODUCTION
In practice this time we will learn
two kinds of motion is linear motion and
rotational motion. The cause of this
motion and we will learn the truth about
the laws of motion we will investigate. In
this lab we also menggunakanalat and
materials are quite simple.
Atwood machine is a
experimental tool that is often used to
observe the laws of mechanics in
uniformly accelerated motion. Simply put
Atwood machine is composed of two
objects connected by a wire / rope. When
two equal mass objects, they will be
silent. But if one of the larger (eg m1>
m2). Then both objects will move in the
direction of m1 with accelerated. Style
pullers actual weight of the object 1.
However, because the object 2 also pulled
down (by gravity), then the resultant force
is towing a heavy object 1 minus the
weight of objects 2. Object 1 has weight
Page 2
m1.g and object 2 has weight m2.g, there
are the resultant force is (m2-m1). G force
is moving both objects. Thus, the
acceleration of the two objects is the
resultant force divided by the mass of the
two objects.
From the above, then we in the
basic physics of this paper will
specifically discuss the plane Atwood by
experimenting directly. The reason we did
this experiment to prove about Newton's
first law and Newton's second law.
In the experiments we did, we
tried to prove whether Newton's law can
be applied to our props, the Atwood
machine. Props consisting of pole-scale R
is at its upper end there is a pulley, rope
hanger whose mass is negligible, two
loads of M1 and M2 cylinder with the
same mass M of each end of the rope tied
to the hanger, two additional burden to the
respective mass m1 and m2 respectively,
and the last one with a spring clasp,
securing the load and the additional load-
bearing cavities. This experiment was
done in order to fulfill our duty physics
lab report after the previous experiments
Atwood machine. Hopefully we've done
experiments that can give us a positive
impact, especially for the practitioner.
THEORY
When two objects of unequal mass
are hung vertically over a frictionless
pulley of negligible mass, as in Figure
1(a), the arrangement is called an Atwood
Machine. The device is sometimes used in
the laboratory to measure the free-fall
acceleration.
Determine the magnitude of the
acceleration of the two objects and the
tension in the lightweight cord.
FIGURE 1. The Atwood machine. (a)
Two objects (m2 > m1) connected by a
massless inextensible cord over a
frictionless pulley. (b) Free-body
diagrams for the two objects.
Page 3
Conceptualize the situation pictured
in Figure 1(a)—as one object moves
upward, the other object moves
downward. Because the objects are
connected by an inextensible string, their
accelerations must be of equal magnitude.
The objects in the Atwood Machine
are subject to the gravitational force as
well as to the forces exerted by the strings
connected to them—thus, we can
categorize this as a Newton’s second law
problem. To analyze the situation, the
free-body diagrams for the two objects are
shown in Figure 1(b). Two forces act on
each object: the upward force T exerted
by the string and the downward
gravitational force. In problems such as
this in which the pulley is modeled as
massless and frictionless, the tension in
the string on both sides of the pulley is the
same. If the pulley has mass and/or is
subject to friction, the tensions on either
side are not the same and the situation
requires techniques.
We must be very careful with signs
in problems such as this. In Figure 1(a),
notice that if object 1 accelerates upward,
then object 2 accelerates downward. Thus,
for consistency with signs, if we define
the upward direction as positive for object
1, we must define the downward direction
as positive for object 2. With this sign
convention, both objects accelerate in the
same direction as defined by the choice of
sign. Furthermore, according to this sign
convention, the y component of the net
force exerted on object 1 is T – m1.g, and
the y component of the net force exerted
on object 2 is m2.g - T. Notice that we
have chosen the signs of the forces to be
consistent with the choices of signs for up
and down for each object. If we assume
that m2 > m1, then m1 must accelerate
upward, while m2 must accelerate
downward.
When Newton’s second law is
applied to object 1, we obtain
∑ F y=T−m1 g=m1 ay
Similarly, for object 2 we find
∑ F y=m2 g−T=m2 ay
When (2) is added to (1), T cancels and
we have
−m1 g+m2 g=m1 ay+m2 ay
a y=(m2−m1
m1+m2)g
The acceleration given by (3) can
be interpreted as the ratio of the
magnitude of the unbalanced force on the
system (m2 – m1)g, to the total mass of the
Page 4
system (m1 + m2), as expected from
Newton’s second law.
When (3) is substituted into (1), we
obtain
T=( 2 m1 m2
m1+m2) g
If we have the same mass on both
sides, the system is balanced and it should
not accelerate. Mathematically, we see
that if m1 = m2, Equation (3) gives us ay =
0.
In the case in which one mass is
infinitely larger that the other, we can
ignore the effect of the smaller mass.
Thus, the larger mass should simply fall
as if the smaller mass were not there. We
see that if m1 >> m2, Equation (3) gives us
ay = -g.
Two blocks having masses m1 and
m2 are connected to each other by a light
cord that passes over two identical
frictionless pulleys, each having a
moment of inertia I and radius R, as
shown in Figure 2(a). Find the
acceleration of each block and the
tensions T1, T2, and T3 in the cord.
(Assume no slipping between cord and
pulleys).
FIGURE 2.(a) Another look at Atwood’s
machine. (b) Free-body diagrams for the
blocks. (c) Free-body diagrams for the
pulleys, where mp.g represents the
gravitational force acting on each pulley.
The motion of m1 and m2 is similar
to the motion of the two blocks in that
example. The primary differences are that
in the present example we have two
pulleys and each of the pulleys has mass.
Despite these differences, the apparatus in
the present example is indeed an Atwood
machine.
We shall define the downward
direction as positive for m1 and upward as
the positive direction for m2. This allows
us to represent the acceleration of both
masses by a single variable a and also
enables us to relate a positive a to a
positive (counterclockwise) angular
acceleration a of the pulleys. Let us write
Newton’s second law of motion for each
Page 5
block, using the free-body diagrams for
the two blocks as shown in Figure 2(b):
m1 g−T 1=m1a
T 3−m2 g=m2 a
Next, we must include the effect of
the pulleys on the motion. Free-body
diagrams for the pulleys are shown in
Figure 2(c). The net torque about the axle
for the pulley on the left is (T1 – T2)R,
while the net torque for the pulley on the
right is (T2 – T3)R. Using the relation Στ =
Iα for each pulley and noting that each
pulley has the same angular acceleration α
we obtain
(T 1−T2 ) R=Iα
(T 2−T3 ) R=Iα
We now have four equations with
five unknowns: α, a, T1, T2, and T3. We
also have a fifth equation that relates the
accelerations, a = Rα. These equations can
be solved simultaneously. Adding
equations (7) and (8) gives
(T 1−T3 ) R=2 Iα
Adding Equation (5) and (6) gives
T 3−T1+m1 g−m2 g=(m1+m2)a
T 1−T 3=(m1−m2) g−(m1+m2) a (10)
Substituting Equation (10) into
Equation (9), we have
[ (m1−m2 )g−(m1+m2 )a ] R=2 Iα
Because α = ɑ/R, this expression can be
simplified to
(m1−m2) g−(m1+m2) a=2 I aR2
a=(m1−m2) g
m1+m2+2 IR2
(11)
Note that if m1 > m2, the acceleration is
positive; this means that the left block
accelerates downward, the right block
accelerates upward, and both pulleys
accelerate counterclockwise. If m1 < m2,
the acceleration is negative and the
motions are reserved. If m1 = m2, no
acceleration occurs at all.

METHODOLOGY OF EXPERIMENT
In this experiment have some
variables, if been identification the
variables so there are time as variable
control, moment inertia, velocity, and
acceleration are variable respond, and
distance as variable manipulation.
Moreover the variables can be definition
like variable operational, there are time is
a magnitude which declare how long the
something happen, moment inertia is a
measure of the inertia of an object to
rotate on its axis, velocity is a vector
quantity that shows how fast things move,
acceleration is the change of velocity in
units of time and distance is a number that
indicates how far an object changes
position through a certain path.
In this experiment required some
specific tools and materials that balance
ohauss 310 g (SSV 0.01 grams) to weigh
the mass of the load, time counter to
calculate how much time it takes to move
objects from C-A and A-B, the ruler (SSV
0.05) for measure the distance C to A and
the distance A to B, and the Atwood
machine consisting of a pole-scale R
which is topped with a pulley at the end of
p, hanger rope whose mass is negligible,
two load M1 and M2 are cylindrical with
the same mass respectively 64, 4 grams is
attached to the ends of the strap hanger, 1
additional burden to the mass 4.15 grams,
with a spring clasp G, B load restraint,
and retaining additional load A
perforated.
Before you make a
measurement, then make sure that the
tools you are using is in good condition
and complete the first step is to weigh the
burden of M1, M2, and m the balance
ohauss 310 grams, then plug grip G, A
retaining additional burden, and retaining
load B, on the pole scale. To investigate
whether the Atwood mechine working
properly, perform the following steps. The
first hanging M1 and M2 at the ends of
the rope and attach the pulley, pairs M1,
the grip G by using springs, investigate
whether mast parallel to the string scale, if
not, set up parallel. Add additional load
on M2 then press G, then M1 will be
Page 7
released from the grip of G, and moves
upward, while M2 + m will move down.
If the machine is working properly then
the second load will move accelerated,
and when M2 + m through A, m will be
stuck in A, and then the system will move
straight uniform. If this does not happen
does not it lies the additional load restraint
A.
Before performing data collection
there are two activities that must be done
is the first event we have to note the
position of C and A, normalize time
counter, then release M1 and record the
time it takes for the object to move from
C to A. Do it 3 times with the same
distance measurement. Repeat the above
steps to move the position of A in order to
obtain 5 different distance from C to A,
then record the result in the observation
table. Further to the second activity we
determine the position of A and B and
record its position. Position B (under
position A) at a certain distance. Remove
the M1 and record the time it takes for the
object to move from A to B. Do this 3
times repeated measurements with the
same distance from A to B. Repeat the
above steps as many as 5 times the
distance A to B is different.

DISCUSSION
In this experiment has concluded
that if the object has been observed
moving uniformly accelerated and in
accordance with the principles of
Newton's second law the body of mass M1
= 64,4 grams moving upward and M2 + m
= (64,4 + 4,15) grams moving down the
accelerated 16,756 cm/s2 and the activity
2 that these objects experiencing uniform
rectilinear motion and in accordance with
the principles of Newton's first law
discovered in activity 2 with a uniformly
accelerated motion principle do with the
speed of movement of 16.,929 m/s at the
time of object with mass m that had
united the body of mass M2 off and stop
moving.
CONCLUSION
After doing this experiment finally
concluded that Newton's laws apply in the
working principle Atwood Machine. That
is Newton's Second Law in activity 1 with
the principle of uniformly accelerated
motion and Newton's law on the principle
of rectilinear motion activity 2.
Besides the moment of inertia
affect the acceleration of objects on the
working principle Atwood Machine.
Because of the greater moment of inertia
of the pulley then the acceleration of a
moving object will be smaller.
