Using the Lagrangian to obtain Equations of Motion
... For comparison, it will be instructive to read Section 1.7 in which Zak presents an example of a cart with inverted pendulum. Instead of using the Lagrangian equations of motion, he applies Newton’s law in its usual form. There are a couple of differences between the examples. Specifically, in the e ...
