    Solving a Falling Oscillator with the Lagrangian Method

    Hey. Thanks for the quick response. Here are some thoughts: I'm picking a cartesian coordiante axis y with origin at the initial position of the block B pointing "downwords" - that is to say: in the direction the entire system is falling. As a next step I'm picking l_1 as a generalized...
