Question

The lagrangian is defined as:

(a) a.

Answer 1

The Lagrangian is defined as:

(a) L = T - V

where:

• L is the Lagrangian,
• T is the kinetic energy of the system, and
• V is the potential energy of the system.

The expression $L=T-V$ is a central concept in Lagrangian mechanics, which forms the foundation for deriving the equations of motion in classical mechanics.
