Test: Classical Mechanics - 1 - Question 3

For the Lagrangian

find equation of motion

Detailed Solution for Test: Classical Mechanics - 1 - Question 3

Correct Answer :- d

Explanation : L = (x'2+ x2y'2)/2 - kx2y2/2

d/dt(dL/dx) - dL/dx = 0

=> d/dt(x) - xy2 + kxy2 = 0

=> x'' = x(y')2 - kxy2

d/dt(dL/dy) - dL/dy = 0

d/dt(x2y) + kx2y = 0

=> x2y + 2xy + kx2y = 0

xy'' = -2x'y' - kxy
