Lecture_04 - conservative Lagrangian system
Lecture_04 - conservative Lagrangian system¶
In this lecture you use the final form of the Lagrangian equations of motion:
\(\left[\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{\mathbf{q}}}\right)-\frac{\partial L}{\partial \mathbf{q}}\right]\delta\mathbf{q}=\delta W^{NC}\)
The Lagrangian \(L=T-V\) is kinetic energy \(-\) potential energy.
What is a benefit of using the Lagrangian equations of motion?
What is a drawback/difficulty of using the Lagrangian equations of motion?
