Lecture

Generalized Coordinates: Constraints, Equilibria, Stability

Description

This lecture covers the concept of generalized coordinates in mechanics, including constraints, degrees of freedom, and equilibrium points. Examples such as simple and double pendulums are used to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the importance of using elegant and recommended polar coordinates over complicated Cartesian coordinates for solving motion equations.
