I think I've got enough now to give it a try. Thanks for the help!

Here's a picture of the double pendulum I'm imagining. Massive rods attached to each other by a pivot: This was taken from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum) where they describe how the set up the lagrangian for a double pendulum where the first pendulum is attached with a pivot to...

Hey BiGyElLoWhAt, Thanks for the reply. I just started setting up the lagrangian for a double pendulum with the origin at a distance L from the axis of rotation of the first pendulum. The equations of motion I get from this set up are that of 2 independent pendulums swinging about the point I...

I just recently worked through the lagrangian method for describing the motion of a double pendulum. What I want to do now is describe the motion of a double pendulum that has been instantaneously released from the origin and allowed to fly through the air (with the 2 pendulums still connected...

Hey DaleSpam, Do you mind giving me a little direction on how to set up the problem described here using the Lagrangian approach? I just recently learned about and applied the Lagrangian approach to describe the motion of a double pendulum (in this case the set up is given by many sources...
