Central force problem
This article consists of my comprehensive pdf notes I have made for central force problem in classical mechanics, without problems or exercises. The approach is primarily based on Lagrangian dynamics. We must understand that it is not necessary to treat it that way, eventhough we get all the desired results using calculus and Newton's laws like Kleppner and Kolenkow textbook deals it. But then why did I choose it to study it using Lagrangian dynamics? Because it gives deeper insights onto cyclic coordinates and reduction of number of degrees of freedom using symmetry arguments. It is beautiful that way and also more convincing. If you are a problem solver looking to apply this knowledge of central force,I suggest you to solve David Morin's exercises and examples once you go though this. Note: I didn't follow Goldstein for making this notes.This notes consits of little less rigorous treatment compared to it,but suffices for anyone who's studying it for cracking some com...
