1. Two parti
les of masses m1 and m2 are lo
ated on a fri
tionless double in
line and
onne
ted by an inextensible massless string passing over a smooth peg. Use the prin
iple
of virtual work to show that for equilibrium, we must have:
sin α1 m1
=
sin α2 m2
where α1 and α2 are the angles of in
line.
3. Find the dierential equations of motion for a spheri
al pendulum of length l, using
the Lagrangian method.
4. A bead slides on a smooth rod whi
h is rotating about one end in a verti
al plane
with uniform angular velo
ity ω . Show that the equation of motion is ẍ = rω 2 −g sin(ωt).
5. Given a mass spring system
onsisting of a mass M and a linear spring stiness K .
Find the equation of motion using the Hamiltonian pro
