My assignment is in Swedish so I will try to Translate as good as I can ( if someone knows swedish you can visit the link http://physics.gu.se/~sjogren/FYP100/PM_svaengning.pdf )

Homework Statement



We have a swinging Pendulum which equation is given by :

Equation.jpg
attachment.php?attachmentid=18428&stc=1&d=1239580563.jpg


The variables κ, λ and μ are positive constants which are characteristic of the swinging system. θ is the Pendulum angular deviation from the equilibrium position. I = inertia moment

The Question :

Solve the equation in 2 cases

Case 1 : λ=μ=0

Case 2 : λ≠0, μ=0

The Purpose :

Use the Solutions to derive a realtion between the eigenfrequency ω0, damping constant \gamma and angular frequency ωd for the damping Oscillation.

2. The attempt at a solution

Many, and i do not know what to do, because the angular frequency ω = dθ/dt which make the term μ*cos(ω*t) the whole equation into a separable equation ? Iam confused

I need help with this one. A solution to this would be appreciated!

Thanks

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
