A point particle moves in space under the influence of a force derivablefrom a generalized potential of the formU(r, v) = V (r) + σ · L,where r is the radius vector from a fixed point, L is the angular momentumabout that point, and σ is the fixed vector in space. Find the components of the force on the particle in spherical polar coordinates, on the basis of the equation for the components of the generalized force Qj: Qj = −∂U/∂qj + d/dt (∂U/∂q˙j)

In class, we developed the one-dimensional particle-in-a-box model and showed that the wavefunction Ψ(x) = Asin(kx), where k = nπ/l, where n is a positive integer and l is the length of the box: (a) by normalizing the wavefunction, determine the constant A; (b) by applying the Hamiltonian, determine the expression for energy as a function of n and l.
