The video introduces a generalized approach to the Hamiltonian formalism within the Physics Plus course on UniZohr.com, aiming to extend concepts beyond simple mechanical systems where Lagrangians are strictly defined as kinetic energy minus potential energy. The presenter begins by reviewing previo …

This lecture introduces the concept of applying Lagrangian mechanics to non-conservative systems, specifically addressing scenarios where forces depend on velocity rather than just position. The presenter uses a classic example of a stone falling through water to illustrate this challenge; in additi …
