... 11.3. TheimportanceoftheEuler angles goes far beyond theoretical mechanics as demonstrated by the technical importance of the Cardani suspension. Fig. 11.3. The figure illustrates a so-called Cardani sus- pension, ... axis the ω-lines are hyperbolas, ∝  ε α ω 2 α − ε γ ω 2 γ  , i.e., along one diagonal axis they are attracted, but along the other diagonal axis there is repulsion, and the...

... r and m s refer to the planet, and R and M s to the central star (“sun”), while γ is the gravitational constant. Here the [gravitational] masses play the role of gravitational charges, similar ... “active” and “passive” gravitational masses are equal (see the end of the preceding sec- tion), i.e., on the one hand, a body with an (active) gravitational charge M s generates a gravitational...

... of q 1 q 2 , whereas the gravitational force is always attractive, since “gravitational charges” always have the same sign, while the gravitational constant leads to attraction (see (17.4)). Certainly, ... (17.3) Similar considerations apply to gravitational forces; in fact, “gravitational mass” could also be termed “gravitational charge”, although an essential difference from electric charges...

... (26.1) The harmonic oscillator is important inter alia because a potential energy V (x) in the vicinity of a local minimum can almost always be approximated by a parabola (which is the characteristic ... that V (r) should be rota- tionally invariant. Next, the usual ansatz for stationary states is made: ψ(r,t)=u(r) · e −iEt/ . Then, in spherical coordinates a product ansatz (separati...
