In this video on Analytical Mechanics, I discuss extensions to the Lagrange equations when working with systems of multiple particles or when constraints are involved. I also discuss constraints in classical mechanics, including holonomic (scleronomic + rheonomic) and non-holonomic constraints.

I finish the video with a strategy on how to solve problems involving multiple particles and constraints using the Lagrange equations, which is a nice segue to my next video, where I solve an actual Action Problem.
