  5. Comments on generalized coordinates: Here we have assumed that the generalized coordinates qs are independent. Now consider the possibility that the coordinates are related through constraint equations of the form: Lagrange multipliers PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  6. Simple example: u q y x q PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  7. Force of constraint; normal to incline PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  8. Rational for Lagrange multipliers PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  9. Euler-Lagrange equations with constraints: Example: r q mg PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  10. Example continued: PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  11. Another example: PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  12. Another example: A particle of mass m starts at rest on top of a smooth fixed hemisphere of radius R. Find the angle at which the particle leaves the hemisphere. q R PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  13. Example continued PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  14. Example continued PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9

  15. Consider a particle of mass m moving frictionlessly on a parabola z=c(x2+y2) under the influence of gravity. Find the equations of motion, particularly showing stable circular motion. PHY 711 Fall 2017 -- Lecture 9
