Abstract :
The physics of nonlinear, nonholonomically constrained mechanical systems are not well understood. In order to make some headway, experiments need to be devised to test the various proposed theories. As a small part toward the solution of this problem, this paper addresses the feasibility of building an electric circuit analog of a nonholonomic system and its accuracy in representing the dynamics of the mechanical system
