    75. Consider a vertical plane in a constant gravitational field. Let the origin ofa coor inate system be located at some point in this plane, A particle of mass moves in the vertical plane under the influence of gravity andl under the influence of an ad ional force f= —Ara-! ditected toward the origin (r is the distance trom the origin; A and a [4 0 or 1) are constants). Choose appropriate generalized coordi, hates, and find the Lagrangian equations of motion. Is the angular momentum about the origin conserved? Explain, let as choose the Coordinate system so that the a% plane [ies on the vertical plane 1 Gravitational trot and lee the grovitational potential be zero alow the ™ axis.

A pendulum is constructed by attaching a mass m to an extensionless string of length The upper end ofthe string is connected to the uppermost point on a ver- tical disk of radius X (2 < U/r) as in Figure 7-B. Obtain the pendulum’s equation ‘of motion, and find the frequency of small oscillations. Find the Hine about which the angular motion extends equally in either direction (i.e, 8; = 62). “tes the figure, we have the following relation: Ac=d-< = b-R6 Where § is the General red coordivece.
