Simple derivation from postulates of generalized vacuum Maxwell equations

Chun Wa Wong

The two postulates of special relativity plus the postulates of conserved charges, both electric and magnetic, and a resulting linear system are sufficient for the derivation of th…

The falling chain of Hopkins, Tait, Steele and Cayley

Chun Wa Wong, Seo Ho Youn, Kosuke Yasui

A uniform, flexible and frictionless chain falling link by link from a heap by the edge of a table falls with an acceleration if the motion is nonconservative, but if t…

Two falling-chain demonstrations based on Einstein's equivalence principle

Chun Wa Wong, Seo Ho Youn, Kosuke Yasui

Simple demonstrations based on the equivalence principle are given of how a folded chain and a horizontal flat chain fall down when one chain end is fixed to a rigid support.

Falling chains

Chun Wa Wong, Kosuke Yasui

The one-dimensional fall of a folded chain with one end suspended from a rigid support and a chain falling from a resting heap on a table is studied. Because their Lagrangians cont…
