Motion in time of a swinging Atwood machine
Abstract
An exact solution for the motion in time of the swinging Atwood machine is presented. The trajectories of the so called teardrop-heart orbits are obtained considering an extended Hamiltonian and a time transformation first introduced by Poincare. The motion is isochronous with respect to the launch angle.
