PHYS2113 2023 Video 6 -- Lagrange's Equation with Constraints

This lecture is the second in a series on Lagrangian mechanics looking at the constraint forces. This second half we define terms such as degrees of freedom, natural coordinates and holonomic systems, and finish by proving Hamilton's principle holds even in the case of constraint forces existing.

Lecturer: Prof. Adam Micolich

Background: Yamadera station, Senzan line, Yamagata prefecture, Japan.
