Chapter 2.5, Problem 2.3CE
Figure 2.11 shows the motion of various objects:
Case 1. A person on a moving Ferris wheel
Case 2. A person on a loop-the-loop roller coaster
Case 3. The tire on a moving bicyclc
Case 4. The person on the bicycle
Consider the displacement of points on each object, and decide whether the object is undergoing pure translational motion and therefore may be modeled as a particle.
2.3 If the displacement of every point on the object is the same, the object is undergoing purely translational motion and may be modeled as a particle.
Case 1. A person on a Ferris wheel may be modeled as a particle.
Case 2. A person on a loop-the-loop roller coaster may not be modeled as a particle because the person flips upside down as he moves along the track.
Case 3. The tire on a bicycle may not be modeled as a particle.
Case 4. The person on a bicycle may be modeled as a particle.

- 3. Geodesic on a Sphere The shortest path between two points on a curved surface, such as the surface of a sphere, is called a geodesic. To find a geodesic, one has first to set up an integral that gives the length of a path on the surface in question. (a) F.3 on p619 in T&M) to show that the length of a path joining two points on a sphere of radius R is To illustrate this, use spherical polar coordinates (r, 0, ø) (see Appendix 1+sin2 0l(0)2 de L=R 01 if (01,1) and (02, P2) specify the two points and we assume that the path is ex- pressed as = (0). (b) two given points on a sphere is a great circle. Use the above result to prove that the geodesic (shortest path) between Hint: The integrand f(o, ;0) in above result is independent of ø, so the Euler- Lagrange equation reduces to a af/od = c, a constant. This gives you as a function of 0. You can avoid doing the final integral by the following trick: There is no loss of generality in choosing your z axis to pass through the point 1. Show…arrow_forwardA. From the given figure shown. Which of the following gives the total length of the circular arc and the straight line?B.

If the period increases, will the bead slide upward, slide downward, or do neither? Explain why, using your result from part a. Can 0 be greater than or equal to 90°? Why or why not?
