PHYS2113 2023 Video 5 -- Hamilton's Principle

This lecture is the second in a series on Lagrangian mechanics looking at the constraint forces. This first half we look at Hamilton's principle, how Lagrangian mechanics works in polar coordinates, and use a pendulum as a first example of a system with constraints in Lagrangian mechanics.

Lecturer: Prof. Adam Micolich

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