Classical Mechanics Video Lectures

AI Thread Summary
Suggestions for classical mechanics video lectures include Susskind's and Balakrishnan's series, which cover advanced topics like central body motion and Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. Additionally, Maloney's lectures are recommended for further study. For those seeking book alternatives to Marion and Thornton's "Classical Dynamics," a specific title was suggested as a suitable replacement. The discussion encourages searching the science book forum for more resources. Overall, the thread provides valuable links and recommendations for advanced classical mechanics study materials.

Hello,
I wonder if you got any suggestions for classical mechanics video lectures? I don't mean freshman physics, but rather the course which includes the topics such as central body motion, lagrangian, hamiltonian, etc. (I guess it is considered as an upper level course on most schools)

Links are very helpful.
Thanks a lot! (and sorry for the late reply.)
 
Sorry to be posting under video lectures, but I couldn't find any posts on books for classical mechanics. Does anybody know of any book replacement for Marion and Thornton Classical Dynamics? Any help would be appreciated.

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...
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'
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...
