Example 1:
Find the Hamiltonian and equations of motion of one dimensional
spring.
𝜕𝐿
where 𝑝 = 𝑝𝑥 = is the 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚
𝜕𝑥̇
Thus
𝒑
As 𝑯 has to a function of 𝒙 and 𝒑𝒙 only, eliminate 𝒙̇ by putting 𝒙̇ = in 𝑻
𝒎
Equations of motion are given by
𝜕𝐻 𝜕𝐻
𝑝𝑥̇ = − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥̇ = , here 𝑝𝑥 is taken as 𝑝
𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑝𝑥
𝑝𝑥
𝑝𝑥̇ = −𝑘𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥̇ = → 𝑝𝑥 = 𝑚𝑥̇ → 𝑝̇𝑥 = 𝑚𝑥̈
𝑚
∴ −𝑘𝑥 = 𝑚𝑥̈ or 𝒎𝒙̈ + 𝒌𝒙 = 𝟎.

Example 3:
𝑯 has to be in terms of 𝒓, 𝜽, 𝝋, 𝒑𝒓 , 𝒑𝜽 , 𝒑𝝋 . Hence 𝒓̇, 𝜽̇, 𝝋̇ has to be eliminated.
