polymer sheet correction

RMS = sqrt(C_N * N) * b

Note that the characteristic ratio (C_N) should also be raised to the 1/2 power (this is currently incorrect in both the ppt and polymer equation sheet)

Polymer equation sheet (and updated lecture 35 notes) posted

Please note, the formula for force and the two ends of a polymer was wrong in my initial notes - there was a factor of RT missing (the units don't work out without it!)

Practice Pset 11 Update

Solution number 4 has been updated to:
- elaborate on the sign convention for work in part (a), and...
- distinguish between when k meant k_spring or Boltzmann constant. In the notation, all variables k are the spring constant, and kB indicates Boltzmann.
