This installment of “It’s Obvious. Not!” looks at: Book: “Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems” Edition: third Authors: Jerry B. Marion and Stephen T. Thornton Publisher: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Page: 52 This installation of the series provides a few clarifications into the example presented in the textbook and asks even more questions. I have a feeling that readers steeped in differential equations will immediately follow the reasoning of the example as it is written in the textbook. Please, if you have answers to the remaining questions below, or even ideas, please comment. Thanks! The first example of the chapter titled “Newtonian Mechanics” asks the reader to find the velocity of an object sliding down a ramp. The solution for the acceleration, (second derivative of the position x), has already been derived as: The process for deriving the velocity as a function of position illustrated by the author starts with the above equation for accelera...

This installment of “It’s Obvious. Not!” looks at: Book: “div grad curl and all that” Edition: second Author: H. M. Schey Publisher W. W. Norton. Page: 95 As is often the case in this excellent book, the author illustrates theory with a concrete example. The example demonstrates that Stokes Theorem works for a vector field described by: where Stokes Theorem is evaluated using the path of the circumference of a unit circle in the x-y plane and using the surface enclosed by the unit circle on the x-y plane. I ran into a few minor points of confusion working through the example, and I’ve added my intermediate steps below. When evaluating the line integral, the book immediately moves from: immediately to: My confusion: What happened to the dx and the dz terms? Remembering that the path lies entirely in the x-y plane, z is always equal to 0. So, the dx term above drops out. Also, because z is a constant value in the x-y plane, x dz always evalua...
