  • A popular "magic" trick can also be a great learning tool for students to investigate. Starting with the original materials and then going larger plus watching it in slow motion makes the science behind the behavior easier to follow. This video offers a basic explanation of the concepts involved, an in-depth explanation of the physics of the ring and chain demonstration can be found in an article published in The Physics Teacher. online at: aapt.scitation.org/doi/full/1...

    • @YeanyScience
      @YeanyScience  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I had held it a bit more rigid that might be a problem. The tube is filled with wet sand so it does have some weight to it, even so, I was surprised with the amount of force needed to stop it as it reached the bottom of the loop. You can see that I give it some slack as it stops, otherwise I snapped the chain a few times.

    Hi Bruce I just saw a video online of a guy who boils a bit of water in a large glass bottle then caps the top of the bottle. Within a couple of seconds the water stopped boiling but then he slowly started pouring ice water over the bottle and the water inside started to boil again. Was wondering if you have ever made a video showing how water boils at different air pressures? Thanks love your channel

      The small ones are commonly sold in hardware stores. The medium sized one is made out of about 2 feet of garden hose, sand was added then a short piece of wooden dowel was inserted as a plug, finally wrapped with colored electrical tape. The large on is a piece of 6 feet of plastic water line pipe, filled with sand and a piece of wooden dowel inserted as a plug, then the joint wrapped with black electrical tape

      The chain, unless made of something insane, would snap under its own weight. If you could teleport it into position, probably somewhere around the L1 Lagrange point.

    3:00 I have to stop you there. Gravity always grabs at the center of gravity, which is for all reasonable intents and purposes equal to the center of mass. Gravity therefore never applies a torque to anything. This is also the basis for the pendulum falacy. Gravity isn't torqueing the ring, you are.
    Great video again, another experiment I should really try myself. I only have some nylon string on hand though. I have also made a 3D printed centrifuge puzzle toy. I hope to upload a video about it soon, along with the file to print it.

    • @replicaacliper

      Can you only take torque about center of mass?

    • @antalz
      @antalz 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@replicaacliper In a way yes. For free bodies all rotations are around the center of mass. This is for aircraft, missiles, falling rings etc.
      For bodies mounted on shafts, the rotation will be around the shaft. But if the center of mass is not on the axis of rotation, the bearings of the shaft must constantly exert a force to keep the shaft from flying off, and that force changes direction constantly.
      I happen to have a video about this on my channel, about static and dynamic imbalance, though what I talk about here is only static imbalance. In the video I discuss it from the wheel's point of view though, so with centrifugal forces.

      @hermitoldguy6312 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Antalz It doesn't matter how many ways you try to re-write it, it's not a free-body. It's held by one edge. 2:50 IT IS DEMONSTRATED. You're trying to argue against demonstration! Gravity is producing a torque *before* the ring is released.
      Oh, and by pointing to 3:00 you conceal that very demonstration at 2:50.
      Concealing the demonstration that falsifies your argument is evidence of bad faith.
      You're a troll - and not as smart as you think you are.

    Teachers are the opposite of magicians, one does everything they can to make sure their demonstration communicates the principles which explain it, and the other does everything they can to make sure their demonstration hides the principles which explain it. The way I see it, teachers are just better, because you can get just as much if not more wonderment from seeing how reality actually works than being tricked by your own perception of it
