Classical Mechanics Mastery Quiz - DDCET Quiz

50+ Conceptual & Numerical Problems

📌 Key Takeaways for Revision

• Lagrangian Mechanics: $L = T - V$. Equations of motion come from stationary action ($\delta S = 0$).
• Hamiltonian Mechanics: Uses generalized momentum $p = \partial L / \partial \dot{q}$. Canonical equations are first-order ODEs.
• Central Forces: Angular momentum is conserved. Orbits are conic sections. Kepler's laws apply.
• Rigid Body Dynamics: Requires moment of inertia tensor. Euler's equations describe rotation.
• Small Oscillations: Approximate potential as quadratic near equilibrium. Solve $|V - \omega^2 T| = 0$.
