... springs are usually included in the potential energy expression. We will assume so here. The ones remaining are called non-conservative forces because they may add or extract energy from the system. The technique used to evaluate these non-conservative generalized forces is to assume the system unde ...

... vectors normal to the plane containing r and p . Furthermore, since in this case L is fixed, it follows that the motion is at all time confined to the aforementioned plane. We are, therefore, fully justified to use polar coordinates as the two remaining generalized coordinates for this problem (i.e. ...
