I can't make this question work, so I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help guide me towards a solution.
I began with F=ma, and wrote down the equations of motion for each of the masses.
a) 2mx..1 = -kx1 -k(x1 -x2)
and
b) mx..2 = -kx2 +k(x1 -x2)Then I added b to a, and subtracted...
I've attached a copy of the problem and my attempt at a solution.
This seems like a relatively straightforward question to me, but my answer seems to be the exact opposite of what the answer key says.
I reach the conclusion that the answer is C, but the answer is apparently D.

My doubt is that is dimension of a 2nd order homogeneous equation of form y''+p(x)y'+q(x)=0 always 2 ? or dimension is 2 only when p(x),q(x) are contionuos on a given interval I..??
This is dealing with computer vision, but the only part I'm having trouble understanding is a step in the matrix math. So it seems appropriate it should go here.

What is the dimension of a surface? My book says it's only 2-dimensional and I guess that makes sense because you only need two parameters to describe it. But other than that it's not really intuitive for me. I mean surely the shell of a sphere can't be vizualized in a xy-coordinate system only?

Is it possible for LQG to occur in higher dimension (more than 3+1)? If possible. How?

I meet with a triangle integral where x+y≤1, and function is dependant only on x*y. I am wondering if there any possibility to relate ∫∫dxdyf(x*y)=∫d(x*y)f(x*y)g(x*y) or something similar? Or maybe there are some assumptions needed to relate like this?

Hello all,
Special relativity tells that space and time should be seen as a single four dimensional space time. Even the metric for SR has four components, x1, x2, x3, and x4 = ict. The Lorentz transform tells us how to convert these coordinates from this to another providing that we are...
