The Lagrangian Equation INTERMEDIATE MECHANICS WESLEY QUEEN

Developing a new perspective  Hero of Alexandria (70 A.D.) - light reflections takes the shortest path  Pierre de Fermat (1657) - light travels along a path that requires the least time  Maupertuis (1747) - action is minimized through the “wisdom of God”  Action is a quantity with dimensions of energy x time  William Hamilton (1834) – “Of all the possible paths along which a dynamical system may move from one point to another within a specified time interval, the actual path followed is that which minimizes the time integral of the difference between the kinetic and potential energies.”

The Lagrangian L = T - U

Calculus of Variations  Begun by Newton  Developed by Johann Bernoulli, Jakob Bernoulli, and Leonhard Euler  Important contributions made by Joseph Lagrange, Hamilton, and Jacobi Leonhard Euler ( )

Calculus of Variations Use the Chain rule to separate

Calculus of Variations

A falling object

A projectile

An Orbiting body r m M x y

r m M x y Shows conservation of Angular momentum Indicates the acceleration in the direction r is the central force acceleration + the tangential acceleration

Charge interaction y x

A rotating pendulum m y x r ωtωt θ

m y x r ωtωt θ

m y x r ωtωt θ Reduces to simple pendulum when ω = 0.

Lagrangian Benefits  Deals with derivatives of kinetic and potential energy differences which are invariant to coordinate transformations.  Can greatly simplify complicated systems.  Allows us to understand mechanical systems where it is difficult to describe all of the forces explicitly.  Provides an alternative way to analyze a mechanical system: rather than seeing only cause and effect, we can now analyze a dynamical system by considering action minimization.
