Study Notes
Deformed Cube
- A cube with its lower face fixed is subjected to a tangential force applied to its upper face.
- This force causes the cube to deform into a rhombus shape.
- The deformation results in the lines joining the two faces shifting to an angle ᶲ.
Twisting Couple on a Wire
- A cylindrical wire of length l and radius r fixed at one end experiences a twisting couple.
- During the twisting process, a photon of energy E2-E1 = hν is emitted.
- This emission is referred to as spontaneous emission.
Excited State
- If an excited state is a metastable state, atoms remain in these levels for a period of time.
Bent Beam
- A bent beam can be considered as two inverted cantilevers, each with length (l/2) and loaded with a weight of W/2.
Critically Damped Harmonic Oscillator
- Solutions at critical damping do not oscillate.
- The frequency J( k ) − (b 2 /4n 2 ) vanishes in this scenario.
- The two linearly independent solutions can be written as: x(t) = Ae (– 2n)t + Bte –( 2n)
Over Damping
- In the overdamped case, the frequency J( k ) — (b 2 /4n 2 ) becomes imaginary.
