Homework Statement



All masses and radiuses given. (lets say 1m and 1kg for all)
A vertical wheel is free to spin without friction. Mass placed at the edge of the wheel (ie level with the centre) and is released, causing it to accelerate due to torque:

O'question asks what the vertical displacement of the point mass is after 100 milliseconds.

Homework Equations



I'm having trouble with nonlinear acceleration?
Anyone point me in the right direction?

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried assuming constant acceleration but that's not right.****EDIT: Misread question*****
I'll leave it up anyway

So did you solve it or still need help?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'

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...
