Chapter 6: Problem 6
\({ }^{\dagger}\) A particle \(A\) of mass \(m\) is suspended from a fixed point \(O\) by a light string of length \(3 a\). A second particle \(B\) of mass \(m\) is suspended from \(A\) by a second light string of length \(2 b\) and a third particle \(C\) of mass \(m\) is suspended from \(B\) by a third light string of length \(c\). The system can move in a vertical plane through \(O\). Let \(x, y, z\) denote the horizontal displacements of \(A, B, C\) from their equilibrium positions. Show that an approximate Lagrangian
