Show that the work done by the driver plate during a stress accumulation phase is W=\frac{2m<sup>2</sup>g<sup>2</sup>f<sub>d</sub>}{k}(fs-fdI'm not sure where to start with this. I am given several equations but can't reach the desired equation.
Fn=ρghA
m=ρA3/2
θ=\frac{f<sub>s</sub>}{f<sub>d</sub>}
X=\frac{xG}{2f<sub>s</sub>ρghA<sup>1/2</sup>}
U=\frac{u}{f<sub>s</sub>gh}(\frac{G}{2ρ})1/2

The work done by the driver plate during a stress accumulation phase is given by W = Fs*X, where Fs is the force exerted by the driver plate and X is the displacement of the driver plate. Using the equations given, we can rewrite Fs as Fn/θ and X as U*(G/(2ρ))1/2. Therefore, we can calculate the work done during a stress accumulation phase as follows:W = \frac{Fn}{θ} * U * \frac{G}{2ρ})1/2= \frac{ρghA}{θ} * \frac{u}{fsgh} * \frac{G}{2ρ})1/2= \frac{2m2g2fd}{k}(fs-fd
 
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...
