Question: 5 . ( 3 0 ) ( 1 ) There is a pendulum that made of a massless straight spring connected to a fixed ceiling

5.(30)(1) There is a pendulum that made of a massless straight spring connected to a fixed ceiling with rod length \( l \) and mass \( m \). The rod length \( l \) is not fixed but variable in this pendulum with a spring constant \( k \).(equilibrium length is \( l_{0}\)) We can neglect the mass of the rod. The pendulum rod is made of a spring with spring constant of \( k \) and the unstretched length is \( l \). The spring remains straight while the pendulum is oscillating. Let the length of the pendulum rod, \( l \), and the potential energy for the pendulum spring is \(\frac{1}{2} k\left(l-l_{0}\right)^{2}\).
(1-1) Find the Lagrangian of this system.
(1-2) Find the equations of motion in this system.
(2) This pendulum with a massless spring is attached to the ceiling inside a train that is accelerating into the right direction with the acceleration of \( a \). For your convenience, let the initial velocity of this train be zero \(\left(v_{0}=0\right)\).
(2-1) Find the Lagrangian of this system.
(2-2) Find the equations of motion of this system.
