Lagrangian Mechanics II: Degrees of freedom, generalized coordinates and a cylinder
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
#Physics #Lagrangian #Mechanics Sorry about the wait! I hope the audio is bearable. The voiceover is by far the hardest part to get right and I'm still experimenting with how to make it better. I'm also hoping to be able to get a new mic soon. In this video, we introduce the ideas of degrees of freedom and generalized coordinates, before deriving equations of motion for a cylindrical pendulum. ...

    these series on lagrangian mechanics are seriously the best videos on lagrangian mechanics I have ever seen! Funnily enough I live about 800 meters away from where Lagrange used to live here in Turin

      Wondering this as well, does it mean that the L function will always remain on the "L-axis"? There's two energy and one time direction in which the curve could be seemingly "perturbed"

  • @gytoser801
    @gytoser801 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why cant we say dT or dV = 0 I guess because L contains both kinetic and potential energy so average height of curve is affected by each

  • @danbakana
    @danbakana 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You assumed potential and kinetic energies as vectors, but they are not. If they were, as you put it, the square of the total energy would be the sum of the squares of potential and kinetic energies, which we know is not true. Furthermore, even making this consideration, there would still be other errors. During your calculations, you assumed that the unit vector for L would be at -45°, which would only occur if kinetic and potential energies were always equal in magnitude all the time.

    • @timgerk3262
      @timgerk3262 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Since, as you say, energy is not a vector quantity, the vector sum in kinetic & potential phase space is not meaningful. 45⁰ line in phase space expresses the energy conservation constraint.

  • @krisjk999

  • @auden7560
    @auden7560 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the rotational kinetic energy you used the moment of inertia about the cylinders center of mass. Why didn't you then apply parallel axis theorem to get the inertia about the pivot point? Since this cylinder is not rotating about its center of mass.

    • @jamesquigley4837
      @jamesquigley4837 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @omertarkkaraca842
      @omertarkkaraca842 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Due to the change in magnitude of the center of mass's location over time, inertia also changes over time

    • @auden7560
      @auden7560 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Im slightly confused as to what you are getting at. The center of mass location is dependent on time, but the magnitude of the center of mass itself is time independent, therefore the inertia about the center of mass is time independent. You may be thinking of the rotational kinetic energy term, which is time dependent due to the angular velocity component, theta dot squared. What I was pointing out was that in the video the author uses the center of mass inertia when building the lagrangian, but his object is rotating about a pivot point at the top of the cylinder, therefore he should have used parallel axis theorem to find the inertia about the pivot point.

    • @efeozer6740
      @efeozer6740 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@auden7560 you are right this cylinder rotates about the pivot point and this rotation is represented by using theta 1 but this cylinder also rotates with theta 2 and the rotational kinetic energy can be calculated using theta2. so using the center of mass inertia makes sense because of the change in angle theta2. You can't ignore the second theta because the system has 2 dof. Shortly, the Pivot point doesn't affect rotational velocity but the end of the spring ( top point of the cylinder) effects

    I’ve never seen the idea L = T - V explained in any logical way. It makes the generalized coordinates make much better sense.

    Thank you! I finished all three videos. The last one I had to rewind in a couple of places since there are quite a bit of calculations. These are by far the best series on Lagrangian Mechanics I can find on the internet. I understand this may be just a hobby project but the production is just unbelievable. Can't imagine how many hours you have put in creating these videos...

    Extremely good description. I took "classical mechanics" last semester which actually just turned out to be an engineering dynamics course, so of course we didn't cover any of the interesting physics like gravitation into keplers laws, or lagrangian mechanics at all. We just did a bunch of stupid rube-goldberg math. Anyways, apart from that rant, now that the semester is over and grad school applications are all sent off I've been trying to teach myself the things I wasn't taught in class. I've acquired a couple classical mechanics textbooks, watched many videos, and this is the ONLY ONE that's ever motivated WHY the lagrangian is T-V. The energy space and allowed coordinates only being a single line, which can be represented by a single equation combining the two unit vectors is crazy. It make so much sense and only requires knowing you can make different coordinated spaces and knowing total energy is conserved! As well, I don't fully understand yet why the single trajectory restriction implies that the variation in the _time average_ of the lagrangian is 0. Shouldn't it just be the variation in the Lagrangian, or even just the integral of it over time? Why time average? Anyways, I've subscribed and will be watching this entire series. You have done amazing work here and I will be rewatching and taking notes on every video you make! I would love if you made more videos some day but definitely only do what you want to. Your passion for this material has made an incredible lecture and I'd be saddened to see another amazing creator run down by the algorithm. Thank you so much for your work, you have impressively contributed to the sum of human knowledge for all of us to enjoy. <3

    In qm, the Lagrangian is not the most probably trajectory, it's the average trajectory. If you have 50% chance of +1 and 50% chance of -1, average is 0 but you will never get 0.
