Now we know how to use the Calculus of Variation to solve problems in Classical Mechanics. The time integral of Lagrangean is minimized during the motion. So the equation of motion can be obtained by finding the conditions for minimizing the time integral of Lagrangean. This is contained in Euler Lagrangean Equations. In this lecture, we will do some examples.
