Three Ways to Get the Motion of a Pendulum - Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian

Learn three distinct approaches to deriving the equation of motion for a pendulum in this 15-minute physics video. Explore the fundamental differences between Newtonian mechanics, Lagrangian mechanics, and Hamiltonian mechanics as each method is applied to solve the same pendulum problem. Part of a comprehensive classical mechanics series, discover how these different mathematical frameworks arrive at the same physical description while highlighting their unique perspectives and advantages in approaching mechanical systems.
