Define Atwood's machine
Atwood's machine: The weight-and-pulley system devised to compute the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface by computing the total acceleration of a set of weights of identified mass about a frictionless pulley.
Coulomb: C (after C. de Coulomb, 1736-1806): The derived SI unit of an electric charge, stated as the quantity of charge shifted by a current of 1 A in a period of 1 s; it therefore has units of A s.
Permittivity of free space: electric constant; epsilon_0: The ratio of the electric displacement to the intensity of the electric field generating it in vacuum. It is equivalent to 8.854 x 10-12 F/m.
Avogadro constant: L; NA (Count A. Avogadro; 1811) The total number of items in a sample of a substance that is equivalent to the number of molecules or atoms in a sample of an ideal gas that is at customary temperature and pressure. It is equivalent

Copernican principle (N. Copernicus): The idea, recommended by Copernicus, that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the earth. We now know that neither idea is accurate (that is, the Sun is not even situated at the center of o
When air is compressed adiabatically the law connecting the absolute temperature T and the pressure P is of the form T = A.Pn where A and N are constants. Show by drawing a suitable linear graph that the experimental dat

Dirac constant: Planck constant, modified form; hbar Sometimes more suitable form of the Planck constant, stated as: hbar = h/(2 pi)
Occam's [or Ockham's] razor (William of Occam [or Ockham]; c. 1340): It is the suggestion that the simpler a theory is the better. When two theories forecast the phenomena to the similar accuracy, then the one that is simpler is the better one. Furthe
