Simple harmonic oscillator system and changes in its total energy
Suppose I have a body of mass $M$ connected to a spring (which is connected to a vertical wall) with a stiffness coefficient of $k$ on some frictionless surface. The body oscillates from point $C$ to ...

Degeneracy of states in mixed infinite square well, harmonic oscillator
I'm trying to determine the degeneracy of states given by $g(\epsilon)=g_{0} \epsilon$ for a system that is trapped in a quite specific potential.
In two dimensions, the particle has a potential as ...
