1.8 Exercises page 49 I can't find the solutions to the questions. Where are they?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well, since they're not in the book your going to have to work them out on your own and double-check your work to make sure you get them right.

Would it be unreasonable if I post most them to this site to double check in the homework section?

So I can't find the answers anywhere online?

Yes, but don't post them all in one thread. It gets too confusing.
