Question: A projectile with a mass m moving in a 2-D plane (OXZ), with x in the horizontal direction and z in the vertical direction pointing
A projectile with a mass m moving in a 2-D plane (OXZ), with x in the horizontal direction and z in the vertical direction pointing upwards:
1- Deduce that the potential energy of the projectile is given by:
L=1/2m(x˙2+z˙2)+mgz
2- By using the Lagrangian method write the motion equations along x and z-directions.
3- By using the Hamiltonian method write the motion equations along x and z-directions.
