ehrenfest,you should sincerely show your problem and whatever you have thought in this homework help section.We all do it.May be that it is not a homework problem...but understanding the concept yourself is also a way of learning physics.So,better you think over the problem and inform us regarding the details...where the dispute is.

Since, I am not a moderator,possibly I am not the correct man to say this to you.In fact, I too reply to posts very rarely...So take it as a suggestion,not order.
