I was reading classical mechanics by NC Rana . I was reading a topic on vanishing virtual work done due to constraint forces . How do you prove that the virtual work done by non holonomic-holonomic constraint which are homogeneous functions of velocities isis zero .? There is a proof given in the text but i find it unclear. How did he proceed after eq 1.31 .It It says the first summand will cancel with J(r , t)$J(r , t)$. How?.
