Kinetic Energy of A Constrained Newtonian Dynamical System
Since the Euclidean structure of an unconstrained system of particles is entroduced through their kinetic energy, the induced Riemannian structure on the configuration space of a constrained system preserves this relation to the kinetic energy:
-
.(12)
The formula (12) is derived by substituting (8) into (4) and taking into account (11).

Famous quotes containing the words kinetic, energy, constrained and/or system:
“All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter.... For me “style” is matter.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The scholar may be sure that he writes the tougher truth for the calluses on his palms. They give firmness to the sentence. Indeed, the mind never makes a great and successful effort, without a corresponding energy of the body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
