Hi Prof Fisher and all,
In the question at the end of the second podcast, I’m not sure I understand the situation. It seems that each mass is constrained to move only up and down, and at the same time, constrained to keep a constant distance with the adjacent masses. But then in that case, the only motion possible is all four of them move up or down together at the same height. Can some one clarify this?
Response:
The masses move only up and down to an approximation; the point it the frame made by the four masses can tilt, but it can’t move from side to side.
