Friction of a box pushed against a wall using 200N

AI Thread Summary
To find the friction of a box pushed against a wall with a force of 200N and a weight of 100N, one must consider the normal force and the coefficient of friction. The normal force in this scenario is equal to the applied force, which is 200N. The frictional force can be calculated using the equation F_friction = μ * N, where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force. Without the coefficient of friction, the exact friction force cannot be determined. Understanding these principles is essential for solving related physics problems.

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...
