The rotor of a "centrifuge" (originally at rest) is accelerated with an angular acceleration a for a time interval At, left at constant speed for a time interval Al, and then slowed down at a constant angular acceleration - until it stops rotating. What is the total angular displacement during this process

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.

How would a small bar magnet be oriented when placed at position x?

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.
