Physics 3210What is the Lagrangian of a pendulum (mass m, length l)? Assume the potential energy is zero when q is zero.For which of these systems could you use Lagange’s equations of motion? 1. A double pendulum: a pendulum (mass m, length l) has a second pendulum (mass m, length l) connected to its bob. 2. A projectile moves in two dimensions with gravity and air resistance. 3. A bead slides without friction on a circular, rotating wire.What would be a good choice of generalized coordinates for the double pendulum? (Assume the pendula are constrained to move in the x-y plane.)What is the kinetic energy of a particle sliding on the parabola y=x2?What is the generalized force of a particle sliding on the parabola y=x2?A bead of mass m slides on a circular wire of radius R. The wire rotates about a vertical axis with angular velocity W. What is the kinetic energy of the bead?A bead of mass m slides on a circular wire of radius R.
