I Gravitational Force between two Rods of Mass M and Length L

AI Thread Summary
To find the gravitational force between two uniform rods of mass M and length L, double integration is necessary to account for the distribution of mass along the rods. The process involves calculating the gravitational attraction between differential mass elements of each rod. A diagram illustrating the setup can aid in visualizing the integration process. The community encourages users to attempt the problem independently before seeking help. This approach fosters a better understanding of the underlying physics principles.

Find the Force of Gravitation between two Uniform Rods of Mass M and Length L.
I heard my prof say that we have to do double integration to solve this.
Please explain the above step and step with Diagram

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
