Thank you guys. And yes,I will also be applying to Turkish universities. Actuall,we don't "apply" to universities here,in the sense of sending CVs, writing essays and so on. There is just a national exam that is only offered once a year,we just sit this exam,and choose a list of universities...

Hello, I'm a high school senior from Turkey,and I will be applying to US (and possibly Canadian) institutions this year. Ok, this post is going to be a bit long,but as an international applicant,I have many questions about the admissions process even after hours of Googling,and I'm hoping that...

bjnartowt,there is only one large disc,and two smaller discs. The question asks the radius of the large disc for the equilibrium state,if there is one.

This was in a physics problem book with various levels of problems,so I am not sure which level it is. But probably undergrad. I also tried to apply phil's model,and it seems that equilibrium is not possible in this approach. The formula is the charge distribution on a free circular disc,and as...

Homework Statement Two discs are each charged +q. A third metal disc of radius R∗ > 5 cm is carefully inserted between the two discs; the third disc is neutral and is suspended by an electrically insulating thread. The three discs are all parallel to each other and their centers lie along the...

Hi tinytim, but how do i get rid of \theta's in the square root when integrating?

Homework Statement The problem can be found here. http://wopho.org/dl.php?id=17&dirfile=selection-problem/helical_rope.pdf" I am attempting to solve part 3. Homework Equations The Lagrangian of the system is: L= \frac{m\dot{x}^2}{2}+\frac{mr^2\dot{\theta}^2}{2}-k \left(...

Thanks,Sethna's books would surely be useful.

Thank you Landau,there are some decent books in the link you've given. I found Kittel very useful,I'll probably use it. Xepma,Schroeder is OK but it's not that different from Reif I think. Also yes,Huang is surely not very hard but I find its style kinda vague,although more...

Hello, I've finished the topics about statistical mechanics in Feynman Lectures,and I'd like to study the topic in a deeper aspect. I've had a look at Berkeley Course vol 5(by Reif),I liked it,but I find it rather too introductory. I also had a look at Huang,but I think it is too advanced for...
