Question

A spring of rest length La (no tension) is connected to a support at one
end and has a mass M attached at the other. Neglect the mass of the spring, the dimension of the mass M, and assume that the motion is confined to a vertical plane. Also, assume that the spring only stretches without bending but it can swing in the plane.

(a) Using the angular displacement of the mass from the vertical and the
length that the string has stretched from its rest length (hanging with the
mass m), find Lagrange’s equations.


(b) Solve these equations for small stretching and angular displacements.
