Lagrangian Mechanics Example: Motion of a Half Atwood Machine
I’m in the process of working through some mechanics examples that use the Lagrangian to find a solution. In case you missed it, here is my introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics.
For this physics example, I’m going to look at a half Atwood machine. That’s just a fancy name for two blocks connected by a string. One block (mass 1) sits on a horizontal…
