Are There Any PDFs on Lagrangian Dynamics with Problems and Solutions?

AI Thread Summary
Several users are seeking PDFs on Lagrangian Dynamics that include problems and solutions. A recommended resource is a PDF available through Harvard's website, which contains relevant chapters. For those without access to Harvard, alternative resources include MIT's OpenCourseWare and a collection of examples found on a physics archive site. Additionally, a specific textbook on Amazon is suggested as a valuable resource. These materials can aid in understanding Lagrangian Dynamics effectively.

Sure. There is a great one at

http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic193296.files/chap6.pdf

The rest of the chapters are at

http://my.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k19919&pageid=icb.page98303

I highly recommend that you download them all and place them in a safe place for prosperity's sake!

Best regards

Pete

where can I download the pdf if I am not of harvart
thanks...
 
I know that this is an old thread but I reckon it may be useful for someone looking for information in the future, I have found these two links:

1. Open MIT
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-003JSpring-2007/LectureNotes/"

2.A few examples from a sit I found in google

http://electron6.phys.utk.edu/phys594/archives/marchives.htm"

aside from that https://www.amazon.com/dp/0070692580/?tag=pfamazon01-20 is also a great resource

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
