Inertia Demonstration Revisited
Karioris, Frank G.
American Journal of Physics, 46, 7, 710-3, Jul 78
Explains the inertia ball demonstration qualitatively. For the advanced level the demonstration is treated as a forced harmonic oscillator and the results verified analytically. Computer-generated graphs show that with a rapid pull, the upper cord may break, or the upper and lower cords may break simultaneously. (Author/GA)
