MechanicsPhysics 151^ Lecture 23Continuous Systems and Fields(Chapter 13)

Where Are We Now? „^ We’ve finished all the essentials^ „^ Final will cover Lectures 1 through 22 „^ Last two lectures: Classical Field Theory^ „^ Start with wave equations, similar to Physics 15c^ „^ Do it with Lagrangian, and maybe with Hamiltonian^ „^ Go into relativistic field theory „^ Not enough time to discuss everything^ „^ Let’s see how much we can do^ „^

And take it easy!

Lagrangian „^ Lagrangian is^ „^ m/ ∆

x^ is the linear density

μ^ (mass/unit length)

„^ kx^ is the elastic modulus

K^ (force/fractional elongation)

„^ Think about Hooke’s law „ μ^ and^ K^ remain constant as we shrink
