Kuch bhi shuru karne se pehle, teen symbols ko plain words mein re-anchor karte hain jo hum baar baar use karenge, taaki koi line one se hi na bhatak jaaye.

Neeche ki table mein do jargon words aate hain; unhe ek baar yahan define karte hain taaki matrix saaf padhta rahe.

Aur master formula jo hum har baar mechanically apply karenge:


The scenario matrix

Is topic ke har problem ka ek cell mein aana zaroori hai. Aakhri column wo example batata hai jo use cover karta hai. ("Scleronomic" aur "rheonomic" upar define kiye gaye hain.)

# Cell (scenario class) ? Kaun se pieces survive karte hain Dhyan rakhne wala twist Covered by
A Flat Cartesian, koi constraint nahi haan (scleronomic) sirf , constant trivial baseline Ex 1
B Curvilinear, scleronomic (polar/spherical) haan sirf , position par depend karta hai Ex 2
C Off-diagonal (skewed coords) haan cross term ke saath factor-2 pairing mat chhodna Ex 3
D Rheonomic, rotation → sirf nahi (rheonomic) , yahan kyun vanish karta hai Ex 4
E Rheonomic, translation → aur nahi (rheonomic) teeno present linear term real hai Ex 5
F Curved surface (sphere) haan , do coupled coords 2-sphere ka metric Ex 6
G Degenerate / limiting input (, ) kuch bhi pieces collapse ho jaate hain matrix ek direction kho deta hai Ex 7
H Real-world word problem (elevator + pendulum) nahi (rheonomic) teeno pieces map mein physics padhna Ex 8
I Exam twist (Euler's theorem verify karo / nikalo) haan property use karta hai Ex 9

Example 1 — Cell A: flat baseline


Example 2 — Cell B: polar, position-dependent metric

Figure — Kinetic energy in generalized coordinates

Step 1. Direction vectors (figure dekho: point par do coloured arrows). Ye step kyun? Blue arrow () bahar ki taraf point karta hai — change karna tumhe ray ke saath slide karta hai. Orange arrow () sideways point karta hai aur centre se door times lamba hota hai, kyunki ek radian angle zyada bada arc sweep karta hai jab bada ho.

Step 2. ke liye inhe dot karo. Ye step kyun? isliye kyunki blue aur orange arrows perpendicular hain — geometry hai, luck nahi.

Step 3. kyun? Lamba orange arrow ka matlab hai ki wohi door par zyada real speed produce karta hai — metric yahi record karta hai.

Verify: Radius par, tangential speed hai, radial speed ; perpendicular hain, toh , deta hai . ✓ ke units: ✓.


Example 3 — Cell C: genuinely off-diagonal metric


Example 4 — Cell D: rotating wire ( aata hai, nahi)

Figure — Kinetic energy in generalized coordinates

Step 1. Do tarah ke derivatives: Ye step kyun? = "agar bead ko bahar slide karoon to position kaise move hoti hai"; = "wire khud rotate kare aur bead still baitha rahe to position kaise move hoti hai". Figure mein ye perpendicular blue (radial) aur orange (tangential) arrows ke roop mein dikhte hain.

Step 2 — piece. , toh . Ye step kyun? ko sirf -direction vector apne aap se dot chahiye; blue radial arrow ki length hai, jo plain mass deta hai — wire ke saath slide karne ki energy.

Step 3 — piece. . Ye step kyun? "bahar slide karne" aur "spin kiye jaane" ke beech overlap hai. Radial arrow (blue) aur spin arrow (orange) figure mein perpendicular hain, toh unka dot product — aur isliye — zero ho jaata hai.

Step 4 — piece. . Ye step kyun? Wire par still baitha bead bhi () speed par circle mein gheeencha jaata hai; exactly wohi "frozen-but-still-moving" energy hai.

Step 5 — assemble karo. potential ki tarah kyun kaam karta hai: yeh par depend karta hai lekin par nahi; Euler-Lagrange equations mein yeh outward centrifugal push produce karta hai.

Verify: Full speed (radial + tangential, perpendicular), toh . ✓


Example 5 — Cell E: sliding frame ( aur dono nonzero)


Example 6 — Cell F: sphere par particle (curved surface)

Figure — Kinetic energy in generalized coordinates

Step 1. Direction vectors: Ye step kyun? tumhe ek meridian ke saath move karta hai (pole ki taraf/pole se door); tumhe latitude ke ek circle ke saath move karta hai — aur wo circle pole ke paas choti ho jaati hai, figure mein upar shorter orange arrow se dikhaya gaya hai.

Step 2 — diagonal metric entries. kyun? Latitude circle ka radius hai, toh uski speed hai; squaring karne par milta hai.

Step 3 — off-diagonal entry. kyun? Meridian direction () aur latitude direction () sphere par har jagah perpendicular hain — north-south east-west ko right angles par cross karta hai — toh unka dot product term by term cancel ho jaata hai.

Step 4 — assemble karo. Verify: Equator par , : full-size latitude circle, term hai. Pole par , : spin karne mein koi energy nahi kyunki tum axis par khade ho. ✓ (Yeh limiting behaviour exactly Cell G hai jo neeche hai.)


Example 7 — Cell G: degenerate aur limiting inputs


Example 8 — Cell H: real-world word problem


Example 9 — Cell I: exam twist (Euler's theorem, aur )


Recall Har surviving-term pattern kaun sa cell signal karta hai?

Sirf ::: scleronomic (map mein koi nahi) — Cells A, B, C, F, G(ω→0). , koi nahi ::: moving constraint jiska motion har coordinate direction ke perpendicular hai (rotating wire) — Cell D. ::: moving constraint jiska ek coordinate direction ke saath component hai (sliding frame, lifting elevator) — Cells E, H. Energy function ::: sirf tab jab scleronomic () — Cell I.
