    To get rid of a singularity in the Lagrange equations

    I am sorry for my poor English. Tension force is zero. The wire outside the disk is straight and becomes short with pace ##r\Omega## during winding up operation around the disk bobbin. Wire tension T is the only force acting on mass m so we need to know how it takes place. Does your...

    To get rid of a singularity in the Lagrange equations

    I try to make the Lagrangian. Say coordinate of m is (X,Y) $$X=r \sec \phi \ \cos (\theta - \phi) $$ $$Y=r \sec \phi \ \ sin (\theta - \phi) $$ where $$\theta = \Omega t + \frac{x}{r} + \theta_0-\frac{x_0}{r} ; \theta_0=0$$ $$\phi = \tan^{-1}\frac{x}{r}$$ Lagrangian is made of kinetic energy...

    To get rid of a singularity in the Lagrange equations

    Thanks.  For x/r ##\rightarrow \infty##, the purple force decreases so ##\dot{x}## would also decrease. For x=0 wire tension cannot generate centripetal force. The singularity would come from it. For x=+0 wire tension is +##\infty## thus the purple force is also +##\infty## which would cause...

    To get rid of a singularity in the Lagrange equations

    I see. Tension from the wire (blue) generates centripetal force (green) for circulation of m. The rest component (purple) causes unwrapping the wire. Thus x increases with time. Am I correct ?

    To get rid of a singularity in the Lagrange equations

    Does the wire wrapping direction wrt ##\Omega## matter in your result ? It seems that one tighten and the other loosen the wire.

    I Best way to focus charged particles back to their source?

    https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_29.html is a good one to know the fundamentals.

    I Best way to focus charged particles back to their source?

    Applied magnetic field should be perpendicular to the velocity of the particle so that its track is a circle not a spiral.

    I Best way to focus charged particles back to their source?

    Some alpha particles could be on circle track in constant kinetic energy and come back to the heavy source with a designed homogeneous magnetic field.

    Astronomy Looking for a book on the effects of orbits on celestial observations

    You may find some classic books of your taste at "Books in Astronomy" in Project Gutenberg, free, though I am not good at astronomy.

    I Conservation of angular momentum in the iceskater example

    I would like to expalin it in the case of ellipse orbit of planets as shown in the figure below. You see that F has components that is parallel and opposite to v. Therefore v is reduced. The work done in small time dt by pulling force to the planet is $$ dW=\mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{v} dt <...

    I Can (ordo) Fermions convert to Bosons?

    At least energy, momentum, angular momentum of the system is conserved. I hesitate to refer spin or helicity or other pure quantum states due to my poor understanding. We can change volume of photon gas. On the other hand, I hesitate to say that electron gas is incompressible.

    I Can (ordo) Fermions convert to Bosons?

    An electron and a positron meet and become two photons. The system quantum state is conserved and photons are compressible. The reverse process is possible.

    I Conservation of angular momentum in the iceskater example

    The angular momentum before and after the change in the moment of inertia is conserved: $$M=I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2$$ Assuming ##I_1 > I_2## , it follows that ##\omega_1<\omega_2##. As for the rotational energy, $$E_1=\frac{M^2}{2I_1} < \frac{M^2}{2I_2} =E_2$$ Therefore, the skaters must exert...

    Does this series converge uniformly?

    As for the special case ##x=\frac{\pi}{2}## for n=0 (mod 4) $$a_n=-\frac{1}{n^b}\sin c_n$$ for n=1 (mod 4) $$a_n=\frac{1}{n^b}\cos c_n$$ for n=2 (mod 4) $$a_n=\frac{1}{n^b}\sin c_n$$ for n=3 (mod 4) $$a_n=-\frac{1}{n^b}\cos c_n$$ where $$c_n=\frac{1}{5+\frac{1}{n}}\frac{\pi}{2} =...
