Lagrangian Mechanics: The Jiggle Pendulum

Explore the fascinating world of Lagrangian mechanics through the lens of a jiggle pendulum in this 21-minute video tutorial. Dive into the intricacies of modeling a pendulum connected to an oscillating point, described by the function Acos(wt). Learn how to effectively combine Lagrangian mechanics with Python programming to simulate this complex system. Access the accompanying code at https://trinket.io/glowscript/02ab22c5e1 to enhance your understanding and practice implementation. Note that an important correction has been made to the original code, with the addition of an "R" in the theta double dot equation for improved accuracy.
