Question
Imagine you have a pendulum made of a mass hanging from a spring. Restrict all motion to take place in a vertical plane. At rest the pendulum has length l0. The spring constant is k. There are two degrees of freedom, which you can take as θ, the angle from the vertical of the pendulum, and x, the extension of the spring. Find the generalized force Fθ, and Fx using
the principle of virtual work.
