I am trying to solve this problem using lagrangian motion but I have no idea how to use it.

It can be solved using mass conservation and force momentum equation but we are supposed to solve it with continuity.

How would I go about this?

Continuity:

\frac{ Dp }{Dt} = \delta u / \delta x + \delta v / \delta y + \delta w / \delta z

Now the problem is this:

Calculate the drag force acting on the flat 2m wide plate. Outside the viscous region the velocity is uniform. Use density = 1.23kg/m^3

What I can say is that, \frac{ \delta p }{\delta t} = 0

Nobody with a clue on this one?

The exact question states:

b) Solve the problem using a control volume with the upper boundary a streamline (no mass flux crosses a streamline)
 
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...
