Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE PH 2018 Q.13)**
**1. Theoretical Formulation & Physics Principles**:
- **Field & Concept**: *Classical Mechanics* (`Lagrangian & Hamiltonian`)
- **Governing Principle**: Lagrangian dynamics $L = T - V$ with Euler-Lagrange equations $\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}}) - \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} = 0$, canonical momentum $p = \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}}$, Hamiltonian $H = \sum p \dot{q} - L$, and canonical Hamilton's equations $\dot{q} = \frac{\partial H}{\partial p}, \dot{p} = -\frac{\partial H}{\partial q}$.
- **Examination Context**: Evaluates systematic conceptual precision and mathematical execution under standard GATE Physics parameters.
