    I Form factors and Interaction term of the Action

    Consider, two fields interact with each other and the interaction term of the action is given. Now the Lagrangian density is Fourier transformed and the interaction term of the action is expressed as an integral over the momentum space. How is the integrand related to the form factor?

    I How can we transform a Lagrangian to obtain a new set of equations of motion?

    Consider a Lagrangian: \begin{equation} \mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L}(q_1\, \dots\, q_n, \dot{q}_1\, \dots\, \dot{q}_n,t) \end{equation} From this Lagrangian, we get a set of ##n## equations: \begin{equation} \frac{d}{dt}\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial \dot{q}_i} - \frac{\partial...

    Green's Function for a Partial Differential Equation

    This will transform the PDE into a wave equation. But this exercise asks to solve this problem not using this coordinate transformation. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

    Green's Function for a Partial Differential Equation

    Homework Statement Find out the Green's function, ##G(\vec{r}, \vec{r}')##, for the following partial differential equation: $$\left(-2\frac{\partial ^2}{\partial t \partial x} + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} +\frac{\partial^2}{\partial z^2} \right) F(\vec{r}) = g(\vec{r})$$ Here ##\vec{r}...

    Two successive rotation (Goldstein problem 4.13)

    Homework Statement Suppose two successive coordinate rotations through angles ##\Phi_1## and ##\Phi_2## are carried out, equivalent to a single rotation through an angle ##\Phi##. Show that ##\Phi_1##, ##\Phi_2## and ##\Phi## can be considered as the sides of a spherical triangle with the angle...

    Velocity of a piston in a piston-shaft mechanism

    If ##\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 0## and ##\omega## is nonzero, will the piston move? What do you think? Drawing diagrams may help.

    I Interpretation of photons having zero spin

    Photon has spin 1 and Higgs boson has spin 0. (Source: Wikipedia) You may find this thread on spin 0 particle helpful.

    Velocity of a piston in a piston-shaft mechanism

    Why didn't you consider ##\omega## in your solution?
