Here is your problem, self-proclaimed relativity expert: k m /\/\/\/\---O m is rest mass and k is a linear spring, massless in this case. The free end of the spring is atatched to a locally inertial frame a For example, in Newtonian mechanics, the equations are derived in one line as follows (for non-relativistic cases): F = dp/dt = -kx, in the case of an unforced oscillator the equation of motion is: md^2x/dt^2+kx = 0, x(t=0) = x0, dx/dt(t=0) = v0 Go ahead and write down the relativistic equation of motion according to GR. Assume v0/c = 0.9. Don't scream, shout or throw curses as usual. Hint: avoid just stating G = T. Come on Dork, show us what kind of expert you are. I will not ask you to solve the equations now. Maybe later. You are allowed to ask for help from other cranks in these groups, including your local priest, etc. NOTE: DO NOT BY ANY MEANS REFER TO NEWTON. Mike |
