Answer any five questions. All questions are of equal marks.<br />

1. Find the solution of Laplace’s equation<br />

∇ 2 φ = 0<br />

In spherical polar co-ordinates.<br />

2. Using the method of separation of variables, solve the following equation.<br />

∂u<br />

= 2 + u<br />

∂x<br />

∂t<br />

3. Solve the following equation by power series method.<br />

4. Express 1−<br />

3i in polar form.<br />

5. State and prove Cauchy’s Residue Theorem.<br />

6. Using Lagrange’s equation, discuss the symmetries and Conservation Laws and<br />

hence show that total energy of the system remains conserved.<br />

7. Discuss principal moment of inertia and Principal axis for the rigid body. Define<br />

symmetrical, asymmetrical and spherical top.<br />

8. (a) Prove that the transformation P = ½ (p 2 + q 2 ), Q = tan -1 ( q / p ) is Canonical.<br />

(b) Show that the generating function for the transformation<br />

9. Establish Hamilton – Jacobi’s equation.<br />

10. Set up action- angle variables for the system of one dimensional harmonic oscillator<br />

and hence find the frequency of oscillation.<br />
