Lagrange' s equations of a suspended set of rods
Three identical rods of length l and mass m are hinged together so as to form three sides of a square in a vertical plane. The two upper free ends are hinged to a rigid support. The system is free to move in its own plane. Use Lagrange' s equations to obtain the equations of motion of the system.
I just need help in setting up T and V...I think that I can handle the rest, but any help with getting T and V would be greatly appreciated..I am really desparate here...this problem has been frustrating me a lot. I tried to use theta and phui but they led me nowhere
