Construct the lagrangian lphithetaphitheta and write


(a) Show that in general the angular velocity of the rolling tack is given by

ω= Θe1^ + Φ cosΘ e^2 + (ba-1 - sinΘ)Φe^3

(b) Show that the kinetic energy of the tack is given by

T = 1/2 I1Θ2 + 1/2 I1Φ2 cos2Θ + (2a2)-1 I3(b-asinΘ)2Φ2 + 1/2M(b-asinΘ)2Φ2 + 1/2Ma2Θ2

(c) Show that the potential energy of the tack is given by

V= - Mg.R = -Mg[(b-asinΘ)sinαcosΦ - acosαcosΘ]

(d) Construct the lagrangian L(Φ,Θ;Φ,Θ) and write Lagrange's equations for Φ and Θ incorporating the constraint Θ =Θo= arcsin (a/b) with a Lagrange multiplier λΘ.

(e) Show that Φ satisfies the pendulum equation with angular frequency given by

Ω2 = (9/a)( sinα 4 /acot ΘocosΘo6 + tan2Θo)

(f) Inteipret λo. For small oscillations of the pendulum, show that the condition that the thumbtack not tip over is simply

tanα< tan Θo
