Soil erosion is a widespread problem in rural and urban Queensland. If we want to save our soils, we need to understand the different types of erosion that can occur. Queenslandâs high intensity summer rainfalls represent a significant risk of erosion by water.
Lagrangian function. Lagrangian function, also called Lagrangian, quantity that characterizes the state of a physical system. In mechanics, the Lagrangian function is just the kinetic energy (energy of motion) minus the potential energy (energy of position).
In terms of the Lagrangian, the classical equations of motion are given by the so called Euler-Lagrange equation: The equations that result from application of the Euler-Lagrange equation to a particular Lagrangian are known as the equations of motion. The solution of the equations of motion for a given initial condition is known as a trajectory of the system.
