2. Mass Orbiting on a Table A particle of mass M is constrained to move on a horizontal frictionless table. A second particle of mass m is constrained to a vertical line (defined as the z-axis). The two particles are connected by a massless string that passes through a hole in the table (defined as the origin): em a) Using cylindrical coordinates (r, 0, z), find the kinetic energy of M. b) Find the kinetic and potential energies of m. Find the Lagrangian of the system.
