Abstract
A gradient representation and a second order gradient representation of the mechanics system are studied. The differential equations of motion of the holonomic and nonholonomic mechanics systems are expressed in the canonical coordinates. A condition under which the system can be considered as a gradient system is given. A condition under which the system can be considered as a second order gradient system is obtained. Two examples are given to illustrate the application of the result.
