Second moment of area

I am having trouble understanding the term. How come that calculating the integral of the product of multiplying the Area differential by (distance)^2 determines the stiffness of the beam or...

Weyl Tensor Theorems

Is there any quick way of proving that for a conformal metric of the form: $g^{}_{munu}=Omega^2eta^{}_{munu}$ where the $eta^{}_{munu}$ is the usual Minkowski metric, the Weyl tensor vanishes...

Connection between two Petrov classification schemes

For the Weyl scalars of all spacetimes, at any point, possess one special structure, the so called principal null directions. Consider a general null tetrad ${ l_a,n_a,m_a,overline{m}_a }$, we would...

When a microwave oven stops, why are unpopped kernels very hot and popped kernels not hot?

A commonplace empirical observation is that when a microwave oven stops, unpopped kernels are very hot (it's physically painful to touch them) and popped kernels are not. Is there an...

Electron spin and energy levels of hydrogen atom

In Shankar's quantum mechanics book he says the spin of electron doesn't change the energy levels of hydrogen atom(page 397, 2nd edition). How doesn't spin(being a form of angular momentum)...

How can transverse waves on a string carry longitudinal momentum?

In general, if a wave carries energy density $u$ with velocity $v$, it also carries momentum density $u/v$. I've seen this explicitly shown for electromagnetic waves and...

How to measure voltage and current in closed circuit under magnetic induction?

Let's have a long closed loop wire, part of which is a coil to increase locally the inductance. A magnet is moved back and forth inside the coil. A clamp...
