| Abstract |
The motion of a mass point (particle) on a smooth surface in a potential force field is considered.
To determine the particle trajectories, Zhukovskii’s geometric approach [1] is elaborated. It is shown that the trajectory equations obtained by this method are equivalent to the trajectory equations which can be derived from the Lagrange equations by the isoenergetic reduction (Whittaker’s method [2]). The geometric approach enables one to prove that if the external forces are tangent to the particle trajectory (e.g., "dry friction" forces), then the trajectories coincide with the geodesics. This research extends the results obtained in [3]. |
