PLAYING WITH A CHAIN OR PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL INFORMATICS
Journal Title: Современные информационные технологии и ИТ-образование - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
The article describes an educational laboratory work within the framework of interdisciplinary connections at the intersection of informatics, mathematics and physics: the study of the sagging of a closed chain with different support points. A technology of computer processing of photos and videos of a physical experiment with the subsequent processing of the media files on the computer is illustrated. We present the π chain number (1.258... - the optimal ratio of the chain length to the distance between its attachment points) and its relation to the previously unexplored problem of the shape of the sag of a closed chain hanging on two nails. The analytic expression for this constant was first found. A new physical and mathematical constant is found - the critical angle of the sagging of a closed chain on the "hangers". The problem of the sagging of a closed chain on a cone is detailed. The applicability of the computer tool "optimization with constraints" for solving problems of theoretical mechanics is investigated. Three main tools of mathematical computer tools are described: numerical mathematics, symbolic mathematics and graphics. The importance of using units of measurement when solving physical problems on a computer is emphasized. The problem of publishing mathematical formulas in articles and books is discussed.
