Homework Statement



So, we can presumably write that m = g L, where L is the angular momentum, g the ratio wanted, and m magnetic dipole moment of an axially symmetric body. Total mass is M, total charge Q, mass density \rho_m(r)=\frac{M}{Q}\rho_e(r), where \rho_e(r) is charge density.

Homework Equations



Moment of inertia can also be written I_\omega=\int \rho_m d^2 d\tau where d is the distance from the axis of symmetry.

The Attempt at a Solution



I guess the dipole moment is in the direction of the axis of the symmetry, as is the angular velocity and it can be written:
m = g I_\omega ω

RHS:
= g ω \hat{z} I_\omega

LHS:
m = I \int d\vec{a}

Here is where I guess I'm having conceptual problems. I is the total current, part of which should be a current flowing through a differential circular loop inside the body, at distance d, that is to say:

I = \int \left| v \right| \rho_e d\tau , where \left|v\right| is the module of radial speed of a differential volume element (at distance d) that can be written: \left|v\right|=\left|\omega\right|\left|r\right|sin\theta= ωd. \int d\vec{a} of a differential loop in question is simply d^2 \pi. So, I am getting:

g ω \int \rho_m d^2 d\tau =ω \int d^3 \pi \frac{M}{Q} \rho_m d\tau

Where did I go wrong, how to find g?

anyone? :( the integrals are supposed to annihilate each other leaving me with a factor ~M/Q
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
