Good Morning
(And apologies if this is not the right forum -- it is not a homework problem.)
On the one hand, a vector is an arrow and a tail: it has magnitude and direction. It is used to describe direction, forces, acceleration, etc.
However, there are more mathematical definitions: a...
(a)
##\vec G=24xy\hat a_x+12(x^2+2)\hat a_y+18z^2\hat a_z## @ ##P(1,2-1)##
##\vec G=24(1)(2)\hat a_x+12(1^2+2)\hat a_y+18(-1)^2\hat a_z##
##\vec G=48\hat a_x+36\hat a_y+18\hat a_z##
(b)
I am not sure how to get this part started. Could someone point me in the right direction?
We were taught that in cylindrical coodrinates, the position vector can be expressed as
And then we can write the line element by differentiating to get
.
We can then use this to do a line integral with a vector field along any path. And this seems to be what is done on all questions I've...
For (b) of this problem,
The solution is,
However, I am confused why the two parallel vectors are ##(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}})## and ## (-\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}, -\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}) ## should it not be ##(2,3)## and ##(-2,-3)##. Do somebody please know why they wrote that?
Also...
I'm sorry, this touches so many areas, I just didn't know which pigeon hole to put it in, so I dropped it here in General.

Dear Everybody,
I am having trouble with last part of this question.
I believe the answer is no. But I have to proof the general case. Here is my work for the problem:

Hi. I hope everyone is well. I'm just an old person struggling to make sense of something I've read and I would be very grateful for some assistance. This is one of my first posts and I'm not sure all the LaTeX encoding is working, sorry. Your help pages suggested I add as much detail as...
Determine the amount and type (tensile or compressive) of the spring force so that the resulting force is a vertical force. Also get the resultant force.
i find 60N (compressive)
and resultant forces is 10800
is that correct?

Hi,
I'm not sure to understand what ##| \phi_n \rangle = \sum_i \alpha_i |\psi_n^i## means exactly or how we get it.
From the statement, I understand that ##[U,H] = 0## and ##H|\psi_n \rangle = E_n|\psi_n \rangle##
Also, a linear combination of all states is also an solution.
If U commutes...

This is probably a stupid question, but I have never realised that there's an order things should be done in the chain rule , so for example

##v_f = (\frac {2dIBL} {m})^{1/2} ##

when you do a multipole expansion of the vector potential you get a monopole, dipole, quadrupole and so on terms. The monopole term for a current loop is μI/4πr*∫dl’ which goes to 0 as the integral is over a closed loop. I am kinda confused on that as evaulating the integral gives the arc length...

I was just wondering about the suvat formulae and a question popped into my head, which I'd like someone to try and explain the reason as to why please.

1. To find the solution simply integrate the e_r section by dr.
$$\nabla g = A$$
$$g = \int 3r^2sin v dr = r^3sinv + f(v)$$
Then integrate the e_v section similarly:
$$g = \int r^3cosv dv = r^3sinv + f(r)$$
From these we can see that ##g = r^3sinv + C##
But the answer is apparently that there...

I was thinking of using the chain rule with
dF/dx = 0i + (3xsin(3x) - cos(3x))j

but dF/dy is still a vector so how can it be inverted to get dy/dF ?
what are the other methods to calculate this?
