Homework Statement I proved that a relativistic 1D force is F = \gamma3*m*dVx/dt = m * dVx/dt * 1/ (1 - (v/c)2)3/2 Then, "This is a separable differential equation that can be solved using a trig substitution. Use this (or some other technique that works) to show that the velocity is given...

Okay, did I at least calculate the angle correctly? Edit: Figured it out. Thanks for the help.

Homework Statement A pendulum has a length L = 1.13m. It hangs straight down in a jet plane about to take off as shown by the dotted line in the figure. The jet then accelerates uniformly, and while the plane is accelerating, the equilibrium position of the pendulum shifts to the position shown...
