problems (pdf)
2.11 (see Extra problem set 1), 2.14 (see
Extra problem set 3), 2.15, 2.22, 2.24 (this is
rather difficult and you also need to read Example 2.13, which we
did not discuss in class), 2.26-27, 2.35, 3.4, 4.1 (see question 1 in the 8th
assignment), 4.4 (this was an example discussed in class: it is
solved using conservation of energy and the x component of the
total momentum), 4.6 (this is similar to question 4 in the 7th
assignment), 4.7 (this is similar to problem 6 in the Revision
session of 09/12/13), 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, 4.14 (see Tutorials section)
