Question
Four equal, uniform rods of mass m and length 2a are hinged together to form
a rhombus ABCD. The point A is fixed, while C lies directly beneath it and is free
to slide up and down. The whole system can rotate around the vertical. Let 0 be
the angle that AB makes with the vertical, and o be the angular velocity around the
vertical, as shown in figure 3.
Find the Lagrangian for this system and show that there are two conserved constants
of motion.
B
Figure 3: The rotating rhombus.
