Homework Statement


I need to find a formula for the friction in the system.
I had a disk and a pulley connected to a rotation sensor on each side.
I wrapped a pulley with a string and there was a small mass attached to the bottom.
As I let that mass fall, it would fall and spin a pulley.
What would be the formula for the friction in the system?

*Given variables are T, Hanging mass, pulley radius, disk mass, disk radius, and angular acceleration

Homework Equations


Torque = I(mr^2)*(angular acceleration)
Fnet = Fg-T-Ff

Welcome to PF;
Does the string slip over the pulley?

How is friction usually figured out?
 
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...

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...
