SMOT! - (previously about the OC MPMM)

[Low-Q]

Hi,

Is the red bungee cord fixed in point X? Is the bungee cord some kind of a rubber band with a ball fixed at the other end?

Yes, this is what I meant, Low-Q.  It is exactly like a rubber band.

I also don't see how in the original SMOT example, the ball spontaneously returns to B.  It only returns to A.  The experimenter has to lift it to B.

The rubber band idea crossed my mind while writing .

You're right about the SMOT. The ball does not return to point B, but point A.

Stupid people such as you should also have a way to express themselves but they should not do it unrestrained. Because you don't know your place and limits someone has to show them to you.

@Shruggedatlas idea is perfectly equivalent to SMOT. No doubt about that. Quite obvious, so to speak. I say "equivalent" as the type of physical manner of operation is different. Doesn't matter. @Shruggedatlas has even accounted for the tention of the cord on its way from B to C, where the tension is least right before the ball is passing point C, as the cords base is angular to the ramp right before the ramps very end at point C + the weight ofthe ball.

So @Shruggedatlas idea is perfectly analogous to SMOT.

If you don't want to hear repeatedly how stupid you are restrain from splashing your nonsense all over this forum.

You have no idea how much I want to hear that You are free to repeat that over, and over again instead of using time to proove your SMOT theory Good luck!

Stop cluttering the thread with your stupidities.

It's simply impossible to take you seriously. LOL
