d’Alembert’s principle
d’Alembert’s principle is a fundamental concept in classical mechanics that reformulates Newton’s laws to analyze the motion of systems by introducing inertial forces so they can be treated as if in static equilibrium.

NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input

Target entity: d’Alembert’s principle Context triple: [Jean d’Alembert, notableWork, d’Alembert’s principle]
-
A.
principle of least action
The principle of least action is a fundamental concept in physics stating that the path taken by a physical system between two states is the one for which a specific quantity called the action is minimized (or made stationary), forming the basis of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics.
-
B.
Euler–Lagrange equation
The Euler–Lagrange equation is a fundamental differential equation in the calculus of variations that provides the condition for a function to make a functional stationary, forming the basis of Lagrangian mechanics and many physical theories.
-
C.
Lagrangian mechanics
Lagrangian mechanics is a reformulation of classical mechanics that uses energy-based principles and the calculus of variations to derive the equations of motion for physical systems.
-
D.
Mécanique analytique
Mécanique analytique is Lagrange’s landmark 1788 treatise that reformulated classical mechanics using variational principles and generalized coordinates, laying the foundations of analytical mechanics.
-
E.
Noether's theorem
Noether's theorem is a fundamental result in theoretical physics and mathematics that links continuous symmetries of a physical system to corresponding conservation laws, such as energy or momentum conservation.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"
