| Mar 13, 2014 at 21:29 | comment | added | user129412 | Thanks for the comment, that's very good to know. I think I might already have an idea for why my answer is wrong: I'm assuming $\eta$ to be constant, while maybe it doesn't have to be? I set its time derivative to zero, but not doing so might get me something more interesting. | |
| Mar 13, 2014 at 21:15 | comment | added | David Z | This is actually a fine question. When we say homework questions are not allowed, we're talking about things like "how do I do this problem?" or "I'm not sure where to start" or "did I do this correctly?" Here you've shown your work and narrowed down the problem to the specific conceptual step you're stuck on, which is exactly the kind of question we like. It doesn't even matter, really, that it arose in the context of a homework question. | |
