(a) A particle of spin 1 and a particle of spin 2 are at rest in a configuration such that the total spin is 3, and its z component is h. If you measured the z component of the angular momentum of the spin-2 particle, what values might you get, and what is the probability of each one?


(b) An electron with spin down is in the state of the hydrogen atom. If you could measure the total angular momentum squared of the electron alone (not including the proton spin), what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
