Lagrangian Mechanics - Chain Sliding Off a Table

Dot Physics via YouTube

Overview

Learn how to solve a classical mechanics problem involving a chain sliding off a frictionless table through a detailed 28-minute physics video lecture. Master the application of Lagrangian mechanics to determine the equation of motion for a chain of mass M and length R, where a portion hangs over the edge. Follow along with the provided Python code implementation to visualize and understand the physical system's behavior. Part of a comprehensive classical mechanics series, this lecture builds fundamental problem-solving skills in theoretical physics using Lagrangian formulation.
