Lagrangian Analysis of Two-Body Systems and Spring Dynamics
Problem 1: Two Masses in a Uniform Gravitational Field
Two masses m1 and m2 move in a uniform gravitational field g and interact via a potential energy U(r).
- Show that the Lagrangian can be decomposed as L = LCM + Lrel.
- Write down the Lagrange equations for the CM coordinates X, Y, Z and describe the motion of the CM. Then write the Lagrange equations for the relative coordinates and show that the motion of r is the same as that of a particle of reduced mass μ, position r, and potential energy U(r)
