Homework Statement
I am tying to prove the following:
\Gamma^{a}_{bc} T^{bc} =0
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I approached this problem as follows:
dx_{b}/dx^{c} * e^{a} (e^{b} . e^{c}) but it did not yield anything.
Then I expanded the christoeffel symbols into...
I looked at the stirling formula derivation but I don't know how it is helpful here.
So I have solved it the other way.
[N-(n-(n-0))] [N-(n-(n-1))] [N-(n-(n-2))] [N-(n-(n-3))]...[N-( n-(3) )][N-( n-(2) )][N-( n-(1) )]
For N>>n, using this approximation once, I get n terms:
[N-n] [N-n] [N-n]...
Homework Statement
The question requires me to approximate binomial distribution to get poisson distribution.
Show that N!/(N-n)!=N^n.
Homework Equations
N!/n!(N-n)! p^n q^(N-n)=Binomial distribution
The Attempt at a Solution
I expanded N!/(N-n)! and got...
Hi,
I read the following in an online source:
In relativistic settings, momentum and energy are equal so the uncertainty principle, for a particle of mass m which is trapped in a box of size L, becomes delta E>= \hbarc/L. If uncertainty exceeds delta E=2mc^2, we get pairs of particles and...
Homework Statement
[S2 total, Sz ∅1]
Homework Equations
S2 total = S2∅1+ 1∅S2+2(Sx∅Sx+Sy∅Sy+ Sz∅Sz)
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated it in steps:
(1∅Sx 2 +Sx 2∅1) * Sz ∅1
=[S2x, Sz] ∅1 + Sz∅Sx 2
=-h_cut i (SxSy+SySx)∅1 + Sz∅Sx 2
Is it correct way of doing it? I...

I need I_yy = \sum m *(x^2 + z^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated I_zz = MR^2 /12...
