A trick of tether dynamics: If you drop a metal ring down a straight chain loop, rather than falling straight off it’ll catch itself into a loop, because a travelling wave moves down the chain. The whiplash of the wave kicks the end of the chain upwards. The ring falls into the hole and gets stuck. Try it yourself! . #science #fluiddynamics #dynamics #physics #engineering #experiment #kidsactivities #scienceforkids #familyscience
