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

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 'Is calling fictitious forces not real just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
