Deriving the Hamiltonian of a system

  • #1

Homework Statement


Derive the Hamiltonian equation in terms of momentum and position ( p and r) for the given system whose lagrangian is stated as L=ř^2/(2w) - wr^2/2

Homework Equations


L=ř^2/(2w) - wr^2/2 and H=př-L

The Attempt at a Solution


Notice here ř means first derivative of r. As i haven't learned how to write equations i derives a solution whoch looks correct and took a picture. I am hoping you can see if it is correct and point at mistakes. In the work i exchanged r with q.
Here are the links to 2 photos i took[/B]

You need hamiltonian equation, not the Hamiltonian. So start from lagrangian equation of motion.
