Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student studying for an honors course in Statistical Physics who is using J.M. Yeomans' "Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions." The student appreciates the book's layout and content but is seeking a solutions manual for the problems presented. Despite searching online, they have been unable to find any resources. Responses suggest that if online searches have been fruitless, it may be unlikely that others will have the solutions manual. The inquiry highlights the challenge of finding supplemental materials for specialized academic texts.

Hello everyone! :)

I am studying for an honours course in Statistical Physics. I have stumbled upon the book "Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions" by J.M. Yeomans. The layout of the book, as well as information, is exactly what I need. I want to work through the problems and was wondering if there is a solutions manual for the book? I can't find anything on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kind Regards

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
