We are going downhill on a path y=a(1−x2), and I need to calculate the constraint force-position function. What I've done is this:
The lagrangian of the system is L=12(˙x2+˙y2)−mgy+λ(t)(y−a(1−x2)), so the 2 equation are m¨x=2aλx and m¨y=−mg+λ. Based on the equations, the constraint force is Fy=λ and Fx=2aλx, but I can't calculate the value of λ. How should I do it?
