So, I realize the basic theory behind Einstein Summation Convention is that any repeated set of indices implicitly indicates a sum over those indices. However, what if an index is repeated three times? For example, my mathematics professor posted this problem: εijkajaj = ? As you can...

Homework Statement the power density of sunlight, at the earth, is roughly 1 kilowatt/meter^2. How large is the rms magnetic field strength?Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried using the equation for power density S = E(rms)^2=√(εμ), then substituting B(rms)/c for E(rms), and...

Homework Statement Space ships A and B, each having a proper length of 100m, pass each other moving in opposite directions. According to the clocks on ship A, the front end of B takes 1.5 x 10^(-6) s to pass the entire length of A. a) what is the relative velocity of the two ships? b)...

Hey physics forums, this is my first post and frankly I'm having trouble conceptualizing this problem. I know harmonic oscillation is involved, as it is a pendulum. However, I know I have to incorporate g into the s.h.o. equation and I'm not quite sure how to do that. Any help would be...
