Attached are 3 problems that we were never shown in class on how to do it. I have a test in 3 days and need to figure this out, and no more class time.

Question 10 12 and 13.
We NEVER did anything with angles in it. And nothing like pulleys this way either.

As for 12 I see you have to do a Em on a point, then solve via Efx=0 and Efy=0 I guess.

Any help to get me started would be great, ANY HELP!.

Thank you

I have not done these types of problems in a while but your question about angles, well you would solve the problems same way but in the calculation instead of having
example hale was hitting a window at a 45degree with speed 5km/s . the the speed would really be 5sin45 or 5cos45 depending on the direction or something its something like that.
 
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...
