if lagrangian mechanics is available the why we needed hamiltonian mechanics. where they differ from each other?
The main difference between Lagrange and Hamilton equations is the form in which they are written. Lagrange equations are written in terms of generalized coordinates and their derivatives, while Hamilton equations are written in terms of generalized coordinates and their conjugate momenta.
Lagrange equations are more commonly used in classical mechanics because they are easier to derive and solve compared to Hamilton equations.
While they both describe the same physical system, Lagrange and Hamilton equations cannot be used interchangeably. This is because they have different forms and use different variables.
The advantage of using Hamilton equations is that they provide a more intuitive description of a system's dynamics, making it easier to analyze and interpret physical phenomena.
Yes, Lagrange and Hamilton equations are widely used in many fields of physics and engineering, including mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. They are also used in the development of mathematical models for predicting the behavior of physical systems.
