Assignment 3 - due September 24 Consider the force F in two dimensions F(z.) = (22y*,—30°y7). Determine whether this force is conservative or not? A uniform thin rod of mass m and length I slides without friction with its tends in contact with the x (horizontal) and y (vertical ) axes. Find the holonomic constraint and a suitable independent generalized coordinate. Write down the Lagrangian and Logrange’s equations of motion. Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find expressions for the forces of constraint. ‘A massless pulley of radius R is suspended by a spring with force constant . There is a massless string on the pulley with masses rm, and mg on either side of the string, The masses are in a viscous medium with P —aa(v +1) where vy and v2 are the speeds of particles 1 and 2 respectively. Find a suitable set of generalized coordinates for this system and determine the equations of motion. A simple pendulum of mass rm and length £ has a point of support on loop of radius R in the vertical plane. ‘The point of support is free to move without frietion on the loop. Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the equations of motion and the tension in the string, Find the frequency of small oscillations about equilibrium. Consider a one-particle system in # “potential” of the form U = gl(x;t)— 1A (x1) x. Construct the “Lagrangian” L = T—U where T is the kinetic Energy of the particle. Show that the corresponding Lagrange’s equations describe the motion of a pattile with electric charge ¢ in combined electric ‘and magnetic fields determined by the sealar potential 6(x,¢) and vector potential A(t). }. A particle of mass m, is placed on top of a vertical hoop of radius R and mass M. The particle is free to slide on the outside of the hoop without friction while the hoop is free to roll in a vertical plane without slipping Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to determine the height at which the particle falls off of the hoop.
