Every university introductory physics course considers the problem of Atwoods machine taking into account the mass of the pulley. In the usual treatment the tensions at the two ends of the string are offhandedly taken to act on the pulley and be responsible for its rotation. However such a free-body diagram of the forces on the pulley is not {it a priori} justified, inducing students to construct wrong hypotheses such as that the string transfers its tension to the pulley or that some symmetry is in operation. We reexamine this problem by integrating the contact forces between each element of the string and the pulley and show that although the pulley does behave as if the tensions were acting on it, this comes only as the end result of a detailed analysis. We also address the question of how much friction is needed to prevent the string from slipping over the pulley. Finally, we deal with the case in which the string is on the verge of sliding and show that this will never happen unless certain conditions are met by the coefficient of friction and the masses involved.

We provide a detailed analysis on the acoustic radiation force and torque exerted on a homogeneous viscoelastic particle in the long-wave limit (the particle radius is much smaller than the incident wavelength) by an arbitrary wave. We assume that the particle behaves as a linear viscoelastic solid, which obeys the fractional Kelvin-Voigt model. Simple analytical expressions for the radiation force and torque are obtained considering the low- and high-frequency approximation in the viscoelastic model. The developed theory is used to describe the interaction of acoustic waves (traveling and standing plane waves, and zero- and first-order Bessel beams) with a low- and high-density polyethylene particle chosen as examples. Negative axial radiation force and torque are predicted when the ratio of the longitudinal to shear relaxation times is smaller than a constant that depends on the speed of sound in the particle. In addition, a full 3D tractor Bessel vortex beam acting on the high-density polyethylene is depicted. These predictions may enable new possibilities of particle handling in acoustophoretic techniques.
We examine acoustic radiation force and torque on a small (subwavelength) absorbing isotropic particle immersed in a monochromatic (but generally inhomogeneous) sound-wave field. We show that by introducing the monopole and dipole polarizabilities of the particle, the problem can be treated in a way similar to the well-studied optical forces and torques on dipole Rayleigh particles. We derive simple analytical expressions for the acoustic force (including both the gradient and scattering forces) and torque. Importantly, these expressions reveal intimate relations to the fundamental field properties introduced recently for acoustic fields: the canonical momentum and spin angular momentum densities. We compare our analytical results with previous calculations and exact numerical simulations. We also consider an important example of a particle in an evanescent acoustic wave, which exhibits the mutually-orthogonal scattering (radiation-pressure) force, gradient force, and torque from the transverse spin of the field.
The goal of this paper is to investigate the normal and tangential forces acting at the point of contact between a horizontal surface and a rolling ball actuated by internal point masses moving in the balls frame of reference. The normal force and static friction are derived from the equations of motion for a rolling ball actuated by internal point masses that move inside the balls frame of reference, and, as a special case, a rolling disk actuated by internal point masses. The masses may move along one-dimensional trajectories fixed in the balls and disks frame. The dynamics of a ball and disk actuated by masses moving along one-dimensional trajectories are simulated numerically and the minimum coefficients of static friction required to prevent slippage are computed.
We address the point of application A of the buoyancy force (also known as the Archimedes force) by using two different definitions of the point of application of a force, derived one from the work-energy relation and another one from the equation of motion. We present a quantitative approach to this issue based on the concept of the hydrostatic energy, considered for a general shape of the immersed cross-section of the floating body. We show that the location of A depends on the type of motion experienced by the body. In particular, in vertical translation, from the work-energy viewpoint, this point is fixed with respect to the centre of gravity G of the body. In contrast, in rolling/pitching motion there is duality in the location of A ; indeed, the work-energy relation implies A to be fixed with respect to the centre of buoyancy C, while from considerations involving the rotational moment it follows that A is located at the metacentre M. We obtain analytical expressions of the location of M for a general shape of the immersed cross-section of the floating body and for an arbitrary angle of heel. We show that three different definitions of M viz., the ?geometrical? one, as the centre of curvature of the buoyancy curve, the Bouguers one, involving the moment of inertia of the plane of flotation, and the ?dynamical? one, involving the second derivative of the hydrostatic energy, refer to one and the same special point, and we demonstrate a close relation between the height of M above the line of flotation and the stability of the floating body. Finally, we provide analytical expressions and graphs of the buoyancy, flotation and metacentric curves as functions of the angle of heel, for some particular shapes of the floating bodies.
We present a simple analysis of the force noise associated with the mechanical damping of the motion of a test body surrounded by a large volume of rarefied gas. The calculation is performed considering the momentum imparted by inelastic collisions against the sides of a cubic test mass, and for other geometries for which the force noise could be an experimental limitation. In addition to arriving at an accurated estimate, by two alternative methods, we discuss the limits of the applicability of this analysis to realistic experimental configurations in which a test body is surrounded by residual gas inside an enclosure that is only slightly larger than the test body itself.
