An introductory example: the uniform static field
Keyword(s):
This chapter discusses some physical effects related to two simple metrics: the RIndler metric and the uniform static field. The purpose is to illustrate the methods by applying them in an exact calculation which is not too taxing. The Christoffel symbols and curvature tensors are obtained, and some example geodesics are calculated. The force experienced by a fisherman fishing in the RIndler metric is calculated.
