PHYS 3210-001: Classical Mechanics

•  video  - Introduction to Lagrangian
• Ball in Curved Tracks

• 1. a simple pendulum made with a ball on a string. 2. another "pendulum" made up of a mass hanging from a lose spring that has negligible length when unstretched. Anchor pivot point firmly to reduce energy loss. 3. A simple rigid circular pendulum (e.g. the chaos pendulum, locked so that it acts like a simple rigid circular pendulum instead) mounted firmly to minimize energy loss.

• Repeat of demos from last time.
