Homework Statement
A particle is attracted toward the z-axis by a force F vector proportional to the square of its distance from the xy-plane and inversely proportional to its distance from the z-axis. Add an additional force perpendicular to F vector in such a way to make the total force conservative, and find the potential energy.
Relevant Equations
→ → → → →
F = ∇ V, and a conservative force F satisfies ∇ X F = 0
I set the location of the particle (x,y,z); therefore,


the force F_1 is (z^2/root(x^2+y^2) * x/root(x^2+y^2) , z^2/root(x^2+y^2) * y/root(x^2+y^2), 0), since cosΘ is x/root(x^2+y^2).
→ → → →
And also, the force F_1 and the additional force F_2 are perpendicular so, F1 ⋅ F2 =0.

So, I got F_x=-F_y. (I set F_2 as (F_x, F_y, F_z)

The total Force F_tot is ( z^2/root(x^2+y^2) * x/root(x^2+y^2) +F_x , z^2/root(x^2+y^2) * y/root(x^2+y^2) -F_y , F_z )
→ →
Then, I used Del operator ∇ X F = 0, which gave me the following result.

(1) ∂F_z/∂y + ∂F_x/∂z = 2yz/(x^2+y^2)

(2) ∂F_x/∂z - ∂F_z/∂x = 2zx/(x^2+y^2)

(3) ∂F_z/∂y + ∂F_z/∂x = (2yz-2zx)/(x^2+y^2)I am kind of able to feel by doing something with the equations (1),(2), and (3), you can figure out the F_tot which leads to get to know the potential Energy but... I got stopped here!

I'd really appreciate if you could help me out. I attached some photos below for those of you who got confused with my messed up complicated symbols!

Sorry for all the confusing arrows... I tried to express those symbols as vectors, so I put the arrows on the upper line with lots of space but they just ignored the space and put all the arrows together...

If you let me know how to compute vectors, I will edit the post right away! Thanks!
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
