Homework Statement Consider a collection of 100 oscillators, each with an average of 10 quanta. a) By what factor would \Omega(microstate) change if the total energy were increased by a factor of 2? b) By what factor would \Omega change if one more oscillator were added to the original...

Consider a very simple model of a computer memory, in which molecules are either found to reside in the left half of their memory cell (encoding a "0"), or in the right half (encoding a "1"). Imagine that we have a 10-bit register. Initially each cell is in the "0" state (i.e., all particles...

Homework Statement The four antennas are arranged in a square with side length d and each of the antennas has an adjustable phase of the radiation emitted. The intensity of radiation emitted by each antenna is I1 with wavelength λ. A receiver is placed at locations A (at the center of the...

Homework Statement Prove that A \oplus B' \oplus C = (A \oplus B \oplus C)'Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried to use A \oplus B' \oplus C = ABC' + A'B'C' + A'BC + AB'C But i am not sure how to proceed further from there... Please could someone give me a little bit of help ?

Homework Statement Prove (x+y)(y+z)(x'+z) = (x+y)(x'+z) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution On LHS, i have done till =(y+xz)(x'+z) 1st- distributive =x'y+yz+xz 2nd- distributive(2ce) =(x+y)(x'+z) 3rd-? For third procedure, what properties should be...

I have tried to use the hint you have given.. Iw^2/2 = mgh h = (2/3 - 1/2) ; length of center of gravity from pivot when it's at vertical And i took moment of inertia I as 3*(2/3-1/2)^2 But when i calculated this, it was wrong... I think RHS of the eqn is correct... Is something wrong in...

I don't understand still... We ARE interested in the point thing because it's only point related to the WALL.. How do we know the direction of the forces by the wall without considering that point..? Please give me a little bit more of a hint...

Homework Statement http://online.physics.uiuc.edu/cgi/courses/shell/common/showme.pl?courses/phys211/oldexams/exam3/fa07/fig19.gif A dumbbell consists of a slender rod of negligible mass and length L = 1 m and small steel balls attached to each end with mass 1 kg and 2 kg, respectively. It...

I don't quite get the hint you have given... Are you saying that there is both horizontal and vertical forces in the point thing? (Then, the answer is FALSE because it has upward AND downward forces?) I am so confused...T_T
