This
5-page Microworld tells a story about Newtonian Force Diagrams in the contexts
of inclined planes and pulley systems. It does this in a series of four interactive
and animated examples that allow the reader to experiment with such parameters
as weight, inclination of the plane, coefficient of friction, load on the
pulley, etc.
In
each example, the author asks a question to which the reader may discover
the answer by experimenting with values for the parameters, and also by making
calculations in the built-in calculators.
The
Microworld explores these themes in 4 interactive pages + a Table of Contents.
