Q 4. (a) A body of mass m is moving in two dimensions in a constant z plane. Consider a coordinate system that rotates with constant angular speed 1 about the z-axis. In a fixed coordinate system (in the constant z plane), define the plane polar coordinates (r,0) while defining (r, ) as the corresponding plane polar coordinates in the rotating system.

A plane pendulum of length L and mass m is suspended from a block of mass M. The block moves without friction and is constrained to move horizontally only (i.e. along the x axis). You may assume all motion is confined to the xy plane. At t = 0, both masses are at rest, the block is at , and the pendulum has angular deflection with respect to the y axis. a) Using and as generalized coordinates, find the Lagrangian...

8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
2. (35 points) A pendulum consists of a point mass (m) attached to the end of a spring (massless spring, equilibrium length-Lo and spring constant- k). The other end of the spring is attached to the ceiling. Initially the spring is un-sketched but is making an angle θ° with the vertical, the mass is released from rest, see figure below. Let the instantaneous length of the spring be r. Let the acceleration due to gravity be g celing (a) (10...
