How Can I Find a Solution to a Simple Problem?

  • Thread starter W_Herbst

In summary, the conversation is about finding a solution to determine the angle between two circles, A and C, using the radius. The solution involves using geometry and extending the line of the normal on the surface into the spheres' centers to determine the angles from a triangle drawn between the three centers. The triangle has sides 2r, r+R, and r+R. The conversation ends with the problem being solved.

Use geometry, and show what you have done so far.

I`ve got Ground and A and Ground and B. Is there a way of determining the angle (not from the answers) where circel A and C make contact, using the radius?
 
  • #4
Yes:
1. The forces between the balls acts along the contact normals.
2. If you extend the line of the normal on the surface into the sphere's you'll end up in that sphere's center.
3. But that means you can determine the angles from the triangle drawn between the 3 centres:
Let R be the radius in the big sphere, r the radius in the two smaller spheres:
Then the triangle has sides: 2r,r+R,r+R
