Sep 13, 2017 at 6:38 comment added atom @user41826: I agree with you. I think Newtonian force is essential for building Lagrangian L; whether you find that force by experiment or if it is known function of co-ordinates does not matter. Lagrange equations avoids constraint forces and makes the mathematics, of finding space co-ordinates as function of time, simpler. Force is involved in Lagrangian approach but not directly.
