Whenever important physicists are discussed, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein
seem get the most attention. However, as you've
seen, Galileo formulated or refined many of his
discoveries and theories based on the findings of
others who came before him, including Aristotle
and Nicolaus Copernicus. Likewise, Newton
claimed that he "stood on the shoulders of giants
in developing his work. You've just begun your
study of physics, but from what you know (or can
research and find out) take a position that Galileo,
Newton, and Einstein deserve this special
recognition. Alternately, identify a physicist that
you think has been overlooked, compared to
these three. Do some research and support your
opinion with credible arguments.

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.
