The Mechanical Behavior of a Multispring System Revealing Absurdity in the Relativistic Force Transformation

Figure 2

The multispring system as viewed in plane . (a) Before the rotation of the plate, the plate is balanced at the midpoint between the ceiling and the floor since . (b) In the process of rotation of the plate, the springs are weakened (), and thus, the plate finds its equilibrium state somewhere below the previous location. In this case, the final displacement of the springs is supposed to be where is the displacement of the spring . Recall that the middle spring of the rotating plate is shown thinner in size due to maximum speed and maximum Lorentz contraction along the -axis.
