The absolute magnitude of a

describes its actual brightness
describes how bright the star looks from earth
changes according to the observer’s location on earth
is multiplies by the apparent magnitude to determine distance

Compare the horizontal displacement of the two balls as they travel to the ground. what do you observe?

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
