1. PHYS 821 Homework 1
Due 8/29/2016 in class
Note: EoC = Goldstein End-of-chapter problem.
1. EoC 1-1. (Show that for a single particle...)
2. EoC 1-12. (The escape velocity...)
3. EoC 1-14. (Two points of mass m are ...)
Note: Let’s assume that the rod can turn around the center point freely, i.e. the system
has 3 d.o.f.
4. EoC 1-17. (A nucleus...)
5. The equation of motion of a one-dimensional mathematical pendulum of length l is
¨φ = −g
l
sin φ. Find an integral equation relating the angle φ to time t.
Note: You don’t have to solve this equation to determine a solution to the problem.
