Atwood Machine Simulation

Atwood Machine

Explore the motion of two masses connected by a string over a pulley. Use the sliders to change the masses and gravity. Features realistic 3D visuals, force vectors, tension calculations, and interactive controls. Press SPACE to pause, V to toggle force vectors, and R to reset.

mass 1 (kg) 5 kg

mass 2 (kg) 3 kg

gravity (m/s²) 9.8 m/s²

Adjust the sliders to see the effect on acceleration and motion.
