I have my classical mechanics final coming up soon and I was wondering if some of you could help me study. The format of the test is a 30 minute oral exam where we will be asked 3-4 questions. Obviously these will be mostly conceptual, since there isn't time to do a lot of math. My problem is, I'm having a hard time coming up with any good sample questions to study. I've never had a test like this and don't really know how to prepare.
So does anyone have suggestions on sample questions that would be good to practice on? This is a first year grad school level class, and we have covered most of the Goldstein text (Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, Moment of inertia and inertial tensors, poisson brackets, variational calculus, central force problems, coordinate transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi equation). Any help is greatly appreciated.
