The Lagrangian Mechanics and Pseudo-Periodicity of The Many-Body Planar Pendulum System

We present the Euler–Langrage equations for a many-body system of coupled planar pendulums. Hence, imposing initial condition data, the equations of motion are linearized and later developed in an idealized model for the pseudo-periodicity of the system as a function of the number of pendulums $N$. The result is empirically corroborated by comparing the model with data obtained via a numerical simulation, and by employing Kane’s Method integrator in Python.
