our community college NSF-REU projects is also described.The Internal Force ExampleA standard internal force problem of two blocks connected by a string over a pulley is shown inFigure 1. The tensions on either side of the pulley are not equal because the angular accelerationof the pulley is affected by the torque. The initial parameter values are: 10-kg incline-mass, 50-kg hanging-mass, pulley moment of inertia 20-kg-m-sq, pulley radius 0.3-m, coefficient of kineticfriction 0.2, and 35-degree slope angle. The system acceleration value was calculated as 1.47m/s/s. Changing the hanging-mass values or the incline-mass values would yield variousacceleration values using Newton’s law of motion. Adding random values would simulate labdata with
