Note: Because the arguments of the trigonometric functions are unitless in this question, your calculator must be in radian mode if you use it to evaluate any trigonometric functions. When powered up, a disk drive starts at rest and spins up with non-uniform angular acceleration according to the following formula: =asin(bt) where a = 708 radians/s2 and b = 1.74 s-1. This lasts for the first 1.81 seconds, after which the drive does not accelerate. How many meters of disk surface have passed underneath the head in 0.79 seconds?

The ammonia molecule can be treated as a symmetric rigid rotator, with its 3 hydrogen atoms lying in the xy plane and the nitrogen atom lying above the plane on the z axis, as shown in the attached image. If we call the moment of inertia about the z acis I3, and the moments about the pair of axes perpendicular to the z axis I1, the rotational energy of the molecule can be written as Eq 1 (see provided image). Say that at time t = 0, the wave function of the ammonia molecule is given as Eq 2 (see provided image), where the Yl, m1(θ, Φ) are the sphereical harmonics. Determine the probability that a measure of the rotational energy of the molecule yields the value 0 for the state ψ. What is <E> for this state?
