Is this momentum and if so how is it derived?

So I'm reading Susskind's "The Theoretical Minimum" and on pages 128 and 129, he has the following equations: First he starts with the Lagrangian for the system: $$L=\frac{1}{2}(\dot{q_1}^2+\dot{q_2 …

Finding the value of the holonomic constraint forces

So let's say I have a Lagrangian augmented with some holonomic constraints. $$L' = L + \sum_i \lambda_i(t) f_i(q,t).\tag{i}$$ The solutions is the system of differential equations: $$\frac{\partial …
