Problem 49

Circular motion can be modeled by using the parametric representations of the form \(x(t)=\sin t\) and \(y(t)=\cos t\) (A parametric representation means that a variable, \(t\) in this case, determines both \(x(t)\) and \(y(t) .)\) This will give the full circle for \(0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi .\) If we consider a 4 -foot- diameter wheel making one complete rotation clockwise once every 10 seconds, show that the motion of a point on the rim of the wheel can be represented by \(x(t)=2 \sin (\pi t / 5)\) and \(y(t)=2 \cos (\pi t / 5)\) (a) Find the positions of the point on the rim of the wheel when \(t=2\) seconds, 6 seconds, and 10 seconds. Where was this point when the wheel started to rotate at \(t=0\) ? (b) How will the formulas giving the motion of the point change if the wheel is rotating counterclockwise. (c) At what value of \(t\) is the point at \((2,0)\) for the first time?

. The circular frequency \(v\) of oscillation of a point is given by \(v=\frac{2 \pi}{\text { period }}\). What happens when you add two motions that have the same frequency or period?
