Hi everyone. While solving different contour integrals, I stumbled upon quite a few line integrals with pole(s) on contour. I've always solved them the same way, using the rule that for such lines the integrals equal \int\limits_\gamma f(z)dz=\pi i\sum\limits_n Res(f,p_n), where p_n are the...

Hi, I have a simple harmonic oscillation problem whose Green function is given by $$\Bigl[\frac {d^2}{dt^2}+ \omega_{0}^{2}\Bigl] G(t, t') = \delta(t-t')$$ Now I found out the Fourier transform of $G(t, t')$ to be $$G(\omega)= \frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{1}{\omega_{0}^{2}-\omega^2}$$ which has poles...

A rope is wrapped around a pole with one end attached to a large object and the other end pulled with a tension T. The rope does not slip. I am confused why the tension varies within the rope. How would I know that the static friction force is non-zero?
