Basically, I'm a Physics/Math MSc student. Currently strengthening my background in Diff. Geo., QFT, GR. I feel like I should start reading some research papers on Quantum Gravity but I do not know where to start.
What papers should I start with? I need papers that are accessible to 2nd year...
Are there any metrics that show which areas in physics have lots of funding and activity at this present moment? Of course it would vary by location as well. I'm mainly interested in Europe.
I am basically trying to figure out if Quantum Information/Quantum Computing is a good field to...
Oh I see now. I actually got that the accelerations are zero from the Hamiltonian. So then if I integrate I get two solutions which I then substitute in the eom above and end up with two equations and two unknowns.
$$m_1 \ddot{x} - m_1 g + \frac{k(d-l)}{d}x=0$$
$$m_2 \ddot{y} - m_2 \omega^2 y + \frac{k(d-l)}{d}y=0$$
It is two masses connected by a spring. ##d=\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}## and ##l## is the length of the relaxed spring (a constant).
What is the strategy to solve such a system? I tried substituting...
Just to close this thread.
The solution is that you consider the inertial frame of reference and write your Lagrangian in cylinderical coordinates. Then it turns out that you can reformat it into ##x## and ##y## since the angular speed is a constant.
Homework Statement
Take the x-axis to be pointing perpendicularly upwards.
Mass ##m_1## slides freely along the x-axis. Mass ##m_2## slides freely along the y-axis. The masses are connected by a spring, with spring constant ##k## and relaxed length ##l_0##. The whole system rotates with...
