The problems are expressed in broad physical terms to enhance their pertinence to readers with diverse backgrounds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In their solutions, the authors have attempted to convey a mode of approach to these kinds of problems, revealing procedures that can reduce the labor of calculations while avoiding the pitfall of too much or too powerful formalism.
