Question
I need the answer as soon as possible
2. A point particie of mass m moves in a plane under the influence of a force F.
F(r)=-kr-1
where k and 3 are positive constants. The force is directed towards the origin. Assuming the
potential energy to be zero at the origin and choosing appropriate generalised coordinates,
write down the Lagrangian and identify the cyclie coordinate. Is the angular moinentuni
about the origin conserved?
