Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics

c. Make a change of coordinates to a coordinate system with center of mass coordinates $\displaystyle{x_{cm}}$ , $\displaystyle{y_{cm}}$ , angle $\displaystyle{\theta}$ , distance between the particles $\displaystyle{c}$ , and tension force $\displaystyle{F}$ . Write the Lagrangian in these coordinates, and write the Lagrange equations.
