Hello ! 

I'm currently trying to learn some advanced mechanics with the Lagrangian method. I'm ok with the physics part. I can solve small problems by hand but when I try it on maple, it won't work.

The equations I'm using have no mistakes, I'm following a book step by step. 

What I'm stuck with is to get a formula of theta and r that are only function of time (t) to then be able to plot it. And I need dsolve to work to get that.
