Notes

The notes on matrices and matrix multiplication (pdf) may be useful for the first problem set.

The PHY103 Learning Guide (pdf). This is the same as the 2007 edition. Please use these as "warm up" problems for the 105 problem sets.

Physics 105 Problem Set 1 (solution)
Physics 105 Problem Set 2 (solution)
Physics 105 Problem Set 3 (solution)
Physics 105 Problem Set 4 (solution)
Physics 105 Problem Set 5 (solution)
K&K Prob 7.7 (a) beta=g/(R*om^2) (b)r = g * tan(alpha)/om^2-R
The following is a list of typos in K&K Ch 9 compiled by D. Nice
Physics 105 Problem Set 6 (solution)
Note to solution of 6.41: while it is easiest to assume the stick starts vertically, this is not necessary.
