A radioactive sample has an activity R. For each of the following changes, indicate whether the activity would increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. HINT (a) The number of radioactive nuclei in the sample is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(b) The half-life of the radioactive nuclei is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(c) The decay constant is doubled. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.
(d) A time period equal to two half-lives is allowed to elapse. The activity would increase. The activity would decrease. The activity would remain unchanged.

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
