I cannot find the correct answer anywhere online and the answer I keep getting is 5.4 (incorrect) Please show me the process to get to the answer! Thank you

i can't find on internet why higher spin tensors are totally simetric. know this anyone ? I think that is connected to spin matrices.

Full quantization of gravity is a big issue, but that's not what I'm asking here. I'm asking about quantum effects that involve any form of gravitation (Newtonian or GR) but that don't require a full quantization of GR or anything like that. Things like gravitational neutron interference or the...

I tried using the general EMF equation but don't know how to apply it with the equation from the problem

Let T be the tension in the string, a be the acceleration of mass 2m, 2a be the acceleration of mass m T = (m) (2a) ---eq(1) The mass 3m will come down with acceleration a’ = (a+2a)/2 = 3a/2 3mg - 2T = 3m . 3a/2 from equation 1 3mg - 2(2ma) = 3m . 3a/2 thus a = 6/17g thus acceleration of 3m...

I would assume that all the tension in the wire originates from the weight of the mass, and is equal to ##T=mg##, but that is incorrect. Forming a right triangle with a hypothenuse denoted by ##x## and applying Pythagoras theorem: \begin{cases}x^2=y^2+l_o^2 \\ x+y=l_o+\Delta l\end{cases} Solving...

I have this problem. I know G, alpha and mu. I need to know theta for equilibrium. My problem is that in place of the thread I need to have a tension and when i write the equations of forces on all 3 axes and then I apply the conditions that Ff<=mu*N (Ff-friction force, N-normal on plane...

Here is the question (Qu 9): Here is what I have attempted: assumed that the accelerations are equal, found a value for the acceleration, thus worked out the time taken for A to reach the bottom. then assumed that the tension becomes 0 once A hits the floor, and then worked out B's new...

M-Theory is a theory of membranes which are the fundamental objects of the theory (M2 and M5 branes), however these objects are considered solitons, solutions of supergravity. How can membranes be "fundamental" if they are solitonic solutions of supergravity? Or am I missing something? And is...

I posted this earlier, but the thread has been closed. String theorists frame much of their studies in the context of Planck length. The theories are meant to fold together QM and general relativity. The equation for Planck length includes the gravitational constant, G. It seems to me the...

Earlier in the forum Urs Schreiber discussed criticism of KKLT, and claims that string theory does not allow de Sitter vacua https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/no-metastable-type-iib-de-sitter-vacua.950271/ The following recent claims to address these concerns, and claims KKLT allows de...

Consider a massless string which can rotate about a fixed pulley (first picture). The coefficient of static friction is μ. Assuming that the motion is impending, the goal is to find the equation that describes the variation in tension of the string. ( T2/T1 = eμΦ where Φ is the subtended angle.)...

Hello forum, I am wondering why the higher order (higher harmonics) standing waves developed on a string under tension generated by an oscillating mechanical vibrator (set at the same amplitude but with variable frequency) have lower amplitude when compared to the lower harmonics (the...

Homework Statement How would you describe the motion of a string at two adjacent antinodes? Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution So would the antinodes not be moving since it's a standing wave? Or would they be moving in phase because they are propagating together?

I've heard in a general way that string theory can describe the properties of the fundamental particles through standing waves or resonances of strings. Is this in fact the case, and if so, can someone provide a link to the relevant research papers?

Hi, Say L is a human language (e.g. German, Chinese, etc.) and w is a string in L of length n>1. Is it known for different languages what the probability is that w is a word in L? And if S is an ordered set of strings, the probability that S is grammatically correct in L? I mean, I know or have...
