Find the Lagrangian and Lagrange's equations for a simple pendulum (Problem ) if the cord is replaced by a spring with spring constant . Hint: If the unstretched spring length is , and the polar coordinates of the mass are , the potential energy of the spring is .
Find the work done by the force is in moving an object from (1,0) to (0,1) long each of the three paths shown:
(a) straight line,
(b) circular arc,
(c) along lines parallel to the axes.

The velocity Vof electrons from a high energy accelerator is very near the velocity Cof light. Given the voltage Vof the accelerator, we often want to calculate the ratio v/c. The relativistic formula for this calculation is (approximately, for V>>1)
, V=Number of million volts
Use two terms of the binomial series (13.5) to find 1-v/cin terms of V. Use your result to find 1-v/cfor the following values of V. Caution: V= the number of millionvolts.
(a)V =100 million volts
(b)V =500 million volts
(c)V =25,000 million volts
(d)V = 100 gigavolts ()
In a water purification process, one-nth of the impurity is removed in the first stage. In each succeeding stage, the amount of impurity removed is one-nth of that removed in the preceding stage. Show that if, the water can be made as pure as you like, but that if, at least one-half of the impurity will remain no matter how many stages are used.
