Lagrangian Mechanics - Bead on a Pivoting Wire with End-Motion Analysis

Learn how to solve a classical mechanics problem involving a bead on a frictionless wire using Lagrangian mechanics in this physics tutorial video. Explore the equations of motion for a bead starting at rest halfway up a horizontally positioned wire that begins rotating upward at angular velocity omega. Follow along with the detailed mathematical derivation and visualization, including a bonus analysis of what happens when the bead reaches the end of the wire. Access the accompanying Python code to simulate and visualize the bead's motion, enhancing understanding of this complex mechanical system. Part of a comprehensive classical mechanics video series that builds fundamental physics problem-solving skills.
