And that is easier said than done (at least to me).The bean is in an accelerating frame of reference that is rotating around it's own axis AND in a circle (with the redius L/2).
So is it not really three velocities? The beans velocity, the velocity of the rod around it's own axis and the...
I'm stuck on a problem with lagrangian mechanics.
Here's the problem;
One end of a rod slides along a vertical pole while the other end
slides a long a horizontal pole. At the same time a bean slides a long
the rod. Find the lagrangian for the system.
And this is what I worked...
