Lagrange’s equations — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2024 Paper I

The Lagrangian of a system is given by L (\vec{r}, \vec{v}) = \frac{1}{2} m (\vec{v} + \vec{a})^2 + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{v} - \vec{c} \cdot \vec{r} where, \vec{a}, \vec{b} and \vec{c} are constant vectors. Construct the Hamiltonian of the system and find the canonical equations of motion.
