Geometric Constraints and Kinetic Energy

This lecture covers the concept of geometric constraints in mechanics, including the restriction of degrees of freedom due to specific geometries. It also delves into topics such as forces of constraint, work, and kinetic energy, as well as the mathematical pendulum and small oscillations. The instructor, Dr. Sylvain Bréchet, explains the relationship between constraints, power, work, and kinetic energy, providing insights into the fundamental principles governing mechanical systems.
