The '''Atwood machine''', or Atwood's machine, consists of two masses connected by a string that extends over a pulley. Rev. George Atwood created this machine in 1784 as a laboratory experiment, and it is commonly used to teach the laws of [[physics]] to students today. Unless the masses are identical, they experience uniform [[acceleration]], assuming a frictionless pulley.
