particle moves in a plane according to the equations of motion x = Rsin(?t) + ?Rt y = Rcos(?t) + R ; where R and ? are constants. The equations describe the path traced out by a point on the rim of a rigid wheel that rolls without slipping as it translates in the horizontal direction. This kind of curve is called a cycloid.
(a) Sketch the path.
(b) Find the instantaneous velocity and acceleration when the particle is at its maximum and minimum value of y. Guys Please i really need the answer and the steps!!
