A rigid T consist of a long rod glued perpendicular to another rodof length l that is pivoted at the origin. The T rotates around ina horizontal plane with constant frequency ω. A mass m is freeto slide along the long rod and is connected to the intersection ofthe rods by a spring with spring constant k and relaxed lengthzero. Find r(t), where r is the position of the mass along the longrod. There is a special value of ω, what is it, and why is it special? http://s3.amazonaws.com/answer-board-image/628ae3fdb906a2b8b95fb53923eb34c7.jpg for picture of the situation

Question

anonymous · Answer

is this math or physics?

anonymous · Answer

physics but its more or less just doing math in this question.

anonymous · Answer

As Lagrange's method is used for optimization with constraints

anonymous · Answer

in calculus so this just looks insane to me

anonymous · Answer

right. Its finding L=T-V where T is equation for kinetic and V is the Potential energy

anonymous · Answer

so once you know the equation its doable.. But finding the correct Lagrangian is hard

anonymous · Answer

what does L stand for

anonymous · Answer

the Lagrangian

anonymous · Answer

PHOEEE.... i dont know zucchini.. i only got the simple lagrange.. from calc 3.. but i really dont know how to solve this one.. sorry

anonymous · Answer

k thanks for checking it out though ;)
