    Here’s a summary of the UA-cam video titled 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬:
    1. 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬: The video begins by distinguishing Newtonian mechanics, which is taught at the undergraduate level, from classical mechanics, a more advanced concept typically studied at the postgraduate level.
    2. 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬: Classical mechanics starts by focusing on generalized coordinates, a mathematical abstraction that allows for a broader understanding of physical systems beyond the basic Newtonian approach.
    3. 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞: Classical mechanics seeks to explain why the equation F = ma holds. This principle, introduced by Hamilton, is a broader formulation that applies not just to mechanics but to many physical phenomena.
    4. **Comparison with Fermat's Principle**: Hamilton's principle is likened to Fermat's principle in optics, which states that light travels along the path that minimizes travel time. Similarly, Hamilton’s principle involves the minimization of "action," a quantity that governs mechanical systems.
    5. **Action and Extremization**: Unlike time in optics, the action in mechanics is minimized (or extremized) based on the system. The action is represented as an integral involving the Lagrangian, a function of generalized coordinates and velocities.
    6. **Role of Mathematics**: Classical mechanics is heavily mathematical, focusing on understanding nature through mathematical models rather than direct experimentation. The study involves concepts like derivatives, integrals, and variational principles.
    7. **Newton’s Contribution to Calculus**: The video highlights that Newton’s invention of calculus enabled the formulation of F = ma by providing a method to compress experimental data into equations, a crucial development for modern physics.
    8. **Generalized Coordinates and Velocities**: The video explains that in classical mechanics, instead of using specific quantities like distance or angle, generalized coordinates (denoted as Q) and generalized velocities (\dot{Q}) are used for a more flexible and generalized description of a system.
    9. **Lagrangian Mechanics**: The Lagrangian, a function of generalized coordinates, velocities, and time, plays a central role in classical mechanics. The action is the integral of the Lagrangian over time, and minimizing it leads to the equations of motion for a system.
    10. **Universality of Hamilton’s Principle**: The video concludes that Hamilton’s principle is a more universal framework than F = ma. While F = ma is specific to mechanical systems, Hamilton’s principle can be applied to a wide range of physical systems, making it a foundational principle in classical mechanics.
    This video provides a deep dive into the theoretical underpinnings of classical mechanics, transitioning from Newtonian mechanics to a more advanced mathematical framework using Hamilton's principle.

      @ProfSivakumarRajagopalan  3 роки тому +1

      Roll a ball on an inclined plane. The angle of inclination is small (e.g. 5 degrees). So, the rolling speed is reasonably slow. Hence we can measure time to reach different points using a stopwatch. Based on large observation data at different inclination angles we can make forward and backward difference tables. "Difference tables" are the numerical method of derivatives. In this way, Newton himself first discovered the concept of derivatives, which was later popularized by Leibnitz.
