Welcome to Physics Forums.

As per the forum guidelines, we can only help you with your homework if you have provided an acceptable attempt yourself.

Show us what you have so far and we'll help you.
 
Apart from "Mechanics of Continuous Media",i have good understanding of other undergraduate physics topics as well.
I do not have enough time to go through the whole of fluid dynamics.
i want to know only 3 things in Mechanics of Continuous Media fo my exam.
(a) proof of stokes's law,poiseuille equation,elastic constants and their inter-relation.
please help with these topics.

Then I suggest you look through your lecture notes and textbooks. You will not be spoon fed answers here. However, if you are willing to put some effort in, we are more than happy to help you.
 
NOw i know the proof of stokes's law,poiseuille equation.
I never believed that the proof would be such a general one(u only need to know Newton's law).
All book except one(physical fluid mechanics by d.j tritton)were providing proof after digging into 100s of pages of fluid dynamics .
thanks D.J TRITTON
thanks you as well, even for not helping me.

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...
