In Chapter 4 (at the end of Section 4.7) I claimed that, for a system with one degree of freedom, positions of stable equilibrium "normally" correspond to minima of the potential energy U (q). Using Lagrangian mechanics, you can now prove this claim. (a) Consider a one-degree system of N particles wi

On a winter day in Maine, a warehouse worker is shoving boxes up a rough plank inclined at an angle above the horizontal. The plank is partially covered with ice, with more ice near the bottom of the plank than near the top, so that the coefficient of friction increases with the distance x along the

There is a great deal of folklore about the effects of the full moon on humans and other animals. Do animals bite humans more during a full moon? In an attempt to study this question, Bhattacharjee et al. (2000) collected data on admissions to a medical facility for treatment of bites by animals: cat
