CM MCQ-1

This document contains multiple choice questions related to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics: 1) It asks about constraints in mechanics and whether sliding of a bead on a circular wire is an example of a holonomic or non-holonomic constraint. 2) It inquires about the types of constraints that are independent of time. 3) It addresses whether the forces of constraints are always known, unknown, or sometimes known and sometimes unknown.
