When we did the spring, we had this theory of Hooke's Law that told us something, and we built a simulation, or built some tools around that theory.
当我们写弹簧程序的时候,我们有胡克定律来告诉我们原理,然后我们建立了一个仿真模型,或者说是在这个理论基础上建立了一些工具。
If you connect the body to a spring, which is neither compressed nor extended, there's no force acting on it.
如果将一个弹簧连在这个物体上,弹簧既没有被压缩也没有被拉伸,也不会有力作用在它上面
With some degree of confidence, I'm working with a reliable spring and then I will get the mass of the elephant.
这时我就对弹簧有信心了,我用的是一个可靠的弹簧,我能测出大象的质量
We know now with the same spring, by this comparison, we will find all objects now can be attributed a mass.
我们现在知道利用相同的弹簧,采用这种比较的方法,就会发现,所有物体都有确定的质量
Newton is not going to come and tell you what force the spring will exert when it's pulled by some amount.
牛顿不会过来告诉你,弹簧被拉伸一定量时会产生多大的力
Even in the case of this spring, when you pull it, if you pull it to the right by some force.
甚至是在这样的弹簧问题中,当你拉它的时候,如果你用力向右拉
I draw a graph here of the amount by which I pull the spring versus the force it exerts.
我在这里画个图,纵轴是弹簧的拉伸量,横轴是力的大小
You cannot have a spring pulled only at one side, because then it will then accelerate with infinite acceleration in that direction.
你不可能对弹簧只施加一边的拉力,因为那样的话弹簧就会以无穷大的加速度加速,就在这个方向上
Now I can measure that, because I pull it by one centimeter and I find the acceleration it exerts on a known mass.
现在就能测量这个力了,因为把弹簧拉伸 1 厘米,我就知道它让一个质量已知的物体产生的加速度
We want to know how much force it exerts when I pull it by a certain amount.
我们想知道当我们将弹簧拉伸一定量时,它能产生多大的力
The spring is getting squashed because you are pushing down and the floor is pushing up.
弹簧现在被压缩了,因为你在往下压,地面在往上推
We go back to the spring and we want to learn something about the spring.
我们回到弹簧的问题上来,我们要学习一些关于弹簧的知识
Does outer space even rob you of something to which you can anchor a spring?
在外太空中你是否,不再能够固定住弹簧
If every time I get the same acceleration, I'm convinced this is a reliable spring that is somehow producing the same force under the same condition.
如果每次都能得到相同的加速度,这个弹簧的可靠性就能令人信服,即它在相同的条件下能够产生相等的力
It means, when you are accelerating upwards, as the elevator picks up speed, the reading on the spring will be more and you will feel heavy.
也就是说当你向上做加速运动时,就像电梯加速的时候,弹簧的读数会增大,你会觉得自己变重了
I tie a spring to my back and I anchor it to the wall and see how much the spring stretches before the two forces balance.
我把弹簧一端系在背后,另一端固定在墙上,观察两个力平衡时弹簧的伸长量
If it's positive, it means you've stretched it, if it's negative, it means compressed.
如果它为正值,就说明弹簧被拉伸了,如果它为负值,就说明弹簧被压缩了
Therefore, what we have done now is, we can take all kinds of springs and we can calibrate the force they will exert under various conditions.
因此,我们现在能做到的就是,我们能处理各种各样的弹簧,我们能测出它们在不同的情况下,产生的力的大小
He said, take a spring to outer space and we'll hook up some objects to them and see how fast they move and do a comparison.
他说,把一个弹簧带到外太空,往上面挂物体,看看它们运动的快慢,并进行对比
Remember, when we hang the elephant in outer space, nothing is going to happen.
记住,如果我们在外太空悬挂一头大象,弹簧是不会有变化的
So springs are always pushed or pulled on either side with the same force.
所以弹簧两边永远都是受到,相同的压力或拉力
Namely, if you pull it by so much, that's the force it will exert.
也就是,将弹簧拉伸这么长,它产生的力就有这么大
I move a little closer and I find the stretching is a different number.
我继续靠近讲台,发现弹簧伸长量有所变化
First, we got to make sure the spring exerts a fixed force every time.
首先,要保证,弹簧每次产生的力是恒定的
In the case of a spring, this is the law that you will deduce.
在弹簧这个例子里,这就是你推导出来的定律
You hook one end of the spring to a wall and you pull it from rest by some amount and you attach the one kilogram mass to it.
你把弹簧的一端固定在墙上,然后拉伸一段距离,接着你把 1 千克物体固定在上面
If you pull the spring, there is a force acting on it.
如果拉这个弹簧,就有力作用在物体上了
So x is not really the coordinate of the end point.
其实并不是弹簧端点的坐标
This is the force exerted by the spring on the mass.
这是弹簧对物体的作用力
This is how masses can be tabulated using a spring.
这就是为什么能用弹簧测量物体质量
