    This homework assignment involves deriving equations of motion for various pendulum systems using Lagrange's method. Problem 1 asks students to derive the equations of motion for a double compound pendulum and its generalized forces. Problem 2 involves linearizing the equations of motion from Problem 1. Problem 3 has students derive the linearized equations of motion for another system in two ways: directly linearizing Lagrange's equations, and deriving then linearizing the full equations of motion.

    HOMEWORK # 3

    Fall 2010

    PROBLEM 1: (40%)
    Derive the equations of motion for the double compound pendulum below using Lagranges method. Be
    sure to derive the generalized forces corresponding to each generalized coordinate.

    2
    PROBLEM 2: (35%)
    Linearize the EOMs from Problem 1. You can either linearize the EOMs or go back to your potential
    and kinetic energy expressions and re-derive your linearized EOMs from there.

    PROBLEM 3 (25%)
    Derive the linearized equations of motion for the system below in two ways: 1) derive the EOMs using
    Lagranges approach and then linearize the equations; and 2) derive the linearized EOMs directly using
    only the relevant terms in Lagranges approach.
