A cart of mass M is placed on rails and attached to a wall with the help of a massless spring with constant k (as shown in the Figure below); the spring is in its equilibrium state when the cart is at a distance x0 from the wall. A pendulum of mass m and length ` is attached to the cart (as shown). (a) Write the Lagrangian L(x, x? , , ?) for the cart-pendulum system, where x denotes the position of the cart (as measured from a suitable origin) and  denotes the angular position of the pendulum. (b) From your Lagrangian, write the Euler-Lagrange equations for the generalized coordinates x and theeta in questin a L(X, x?,THEETA ,THEETA DASH)
