General Tool for Physics
PhD SERIES
Major Issues:
1.Whento take Elements ?
2.Howto take Elements ?
3.How to Integrateand put
Limits?
Almost All
List of Chapters in which this CONCEPTcan be applied
1.COM
2.Rotational Motion (MOI, Torque)
3.Gravitation
4.Solids & Fluids
5.Thermal Properties
6.Wave Motion
7.Electrostatics & Capacitors
8.Current Electricity
9.Magnetism & EMI
10.Ray Optics
List of Typical Element Taking Approach:
1.Rod (along the length)
2.Arc of a Circle
3.Part of a Disc
4.Hollow Hemisphere / Sphere
5.Solid Hemisphere / Sphere
6.Cuboidal Solid/Hollow Cone and
Frustum of a Cone
ROD (Along the Length)
Generally in such questions a parameter
Like Linear mass density or Linear charge
Density is defined.
