For the original Lagrangian of solution, differentiation with respect to the generalized velocities givesIn contrast, using in the nonrotating case gives , ; this is the expected momentum shift under adding a total derivative.
The Euler-Lagrange equations in the general cup frame areThese include the Coriolis and centrifugal terms when the cup axes really rotate. Set to obtainFor , its complete solution iswhere the two complex constants provide the four real initial data. The driving denominator is independent of cup-axis rotation: rotation changes the coordinate description, not the physical trap frequency.
In the requested special case , an equivalent real form isFor example , , and determine the constants.
At resonance with nonzero , replace the particular term byIn the nonrotating cup frame this has components , plus the homogeneous solution. Secular growth eventually invalidates a finite cup or the neglected vertical kinetic energy. If the ride does not rotate, its forcing vanishes and ordinary free oscillations remain.
