Action principle, Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, and conservation laws when assuming Aristotelian mechanics $F=mv$


Define a physical system when Aristotelian mechanics $F=mv$ instead of Newtonian mechanics $F=ma$.


Then we could have action $I=\int L(q,t)dx$ rather than $\int L(q',q,t)dx$.




  • Is there an action principle?




  • Will the formula $I=\int p d q$ still hold?





  • What will be the Hamiltonian and conservation laws look like in this case?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
