A Hamiltonian of one degree of freedom has the form

where a, b, α, and k are constants.

(a) Find a Lagrangian corresponding to this Hamiltonian.


(b) Find an equivalent Lagrangian that is not explicitly dependent on time.


(c) What is the Hamiltonian corresponding to this second Lagrangian, and what is the relationship between the two Hamiltonians?
