Egg Drop with elastic potential energy.

AI Thread Summary
To determine the height from which to drop an egg using elastic potential energy, the user is focusing on a drop height of 2 meters. The total weight of the egg and its holder is 0.11 kg. The relevant formulas for elastic potential energy (EPE) and gravitational potential energy (PE) are known, specifically EPE=1/2KX^2 and PE=mgh. The main challenge is to find the optimal point on the elastic band to hold the egg to ensure it does not hit the ground upon release. The discussion emphasizes precision in the drop height to achieve the desired outcome.

Hi I am trying to find at what hight i need to drop a egg from 2-6 meters. We will start with 2 meters. The weight of the egg and device holding the egg is .11kg together. I no the formulas for EPE and EP " EPE=1/2KX^2 AND PE=mgh. The question is now how to find where on the elastic band to hold from 2 meters above the ground without hitting the ground! "CLOSEST THE BETTER"

Thanks

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...
