Apr 6, 2014 at 15:58 comment added Tadeus Prastowo I am trying to analyze the experiment described by Tom Young in this article. Empirically I came up with this depiction of the motion with a varying radius !A circular motion with a varying radius. I was about to use the relationships in my Physics textbook about circular motion. But, I realized that the model used in the textbook was different. I was thinking to extend the model to cater to varying radius but found no logical basis to do it. Should I go with more advanced mechanical analysis tools?
