Find the Lagrangian and Lagrange's equations for a simple pendulum (Problem 4) if the cord is replaced by a spring with spring constant k. Hint: If the unstretched spring length is r8, and the polar coordinates of the mass mare (r,), the potential energy of the spring is 12k(r-r0)2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Lagrangian is r..-r2+kmr-r0-驳肠辞蝉蠒=0and the Lagrange equations for a simple pendulum is 2r+r+驳蝉颈苍蠒=0.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

The given value isthe potential energy of the spring is 12kr-r02.

02

Step 2: Meaning of the Lagrange equations.

The Lagrange equations are used to construct the equations of motion of a solid mechanics issue in matrix form, including damping.

03

Find the Lagrangian for a simple pendulum.

The kinetic energy in polar coordinates has the following form:

T=12mr2+r22

The potential energy has the form:

Therefore, the Lagrangian is:

Observe the Euler equation for degree of freedom. The Euler equations reads:

ddtLr-Lr=0

First, let's calculate the required derivatives.

Use all of the equations above, after diving by we obtain from the Euler equation:

04

Find the Lagrange equations for a simple pendulum.

The Euler equation for the degree of freedom reads:

ddtL-L=0

Calculate the required derivatives.

Therefore, combining these equations to obtain the final Euler equation of motion:

After diving by mand r,

Therefore,the Lagrangian is r-r2+kmr-r0-gcos=0and the Lagrange equations for a simple pendulum is 2r+r+gsin=0.

Prove that a particle constrained to stay on a surface f(x,y,z)=0, but subject to no other forces, moves along a geodesic of the surface. Hint: The potential energyVis constant, since constraint forces are normal to the surface and so dono work on the particle. Use Hamilton鈥檚 principle and show that the problem offinding a geodesic and the problem of finding the path of the particle are identicalmathematics problems.

The velocity Vof electrons from a high energy accelerator is very near the velocity Cof light. Given the voltage Vof the accelerator, we often want to calculate the ratio v/c. The relativistic formula for this calculation is (approximately, for V>>1)

vc=1-(0.511V)2, V=Number of million volts

Use two terms of the binomial series (13.5) to find 1-v/cin terms of V. Use your result to find 1-v/cfor the following values of V. Caution: V= the number of millionvolts.

(a)V =100 million volts

(b)V =500 million volts

(c)V =25,000 million volts

(d)V = 100 gigavolts (100109volts=105millionvolts)

Hint: Group the terms in the error as role="math" localid="1657423688910" (an+1+an+2)+(an+3+an+4)+to show that the error has the same sign as role="math" localid="1657423950271" an+1.Then group them asrole="math" localid="1657423791335" an+1+(an+2+an+3)+(an+4+an+5)+to show that the error has magnitude less than|an+1|.

In the bouncing ball example above, find the height of the tenth rebound, and the distance traveled by the ball after it touches the ground the tenth time. Compare this distance with the total distance traveled.

Connect the midpoints of the sides of an equilateral triangle to form 4 smaller equilateral triangles. Leave the middle small triangle blank, but for each of the other 3 small triangles, draw lines connecting the midpoints of the sides to create 4 tiny triangles. Again leave each middle tiny triangle blank and draw the lines to divide the others into 4 parts. Find the infinite series for the total area left blank if this process is continued indefinitely. (Suggestion: Let the area of the original triangle be 1; then the area of the first blank triangle is 1/4.) Sum the series to find the total area left blank. Is the answer what you expect? Hint: What is the 鈥渁rea鈥 of a straight line? (Comment: You have constructed a fractal called the Sierpinski gasket. A fractal has the property that a magnified view of a small part of it looks very much like the original.)
