If you have have double pendulum of two rods where the rods moves with the same frequency w at the equilibrium position and at the eq. position you hit the lower rod at a distance d from the point that connects the rods. The hit results in a motion where the upper rod moves with frequency w and the lower rod with frequency -w. If the rods lengths are l and their masses m what are the the distance d.
I have no problem to find the equations of motion for the ordinary double pendulum. With the hit i think it gets something like
Lagrange equations = F
Where F is different for theta1 and theta2.
If you find these equations you can solve for which d the resulting motion is w for the upper rod and -w for the lower rod, right?
But how do you write F?
Thank you
