Greetins again!
I checked, how parametric equations are solved.
Basically, you have to solve one of them for t.
y=r(1-cos(t))
t=arccos(-y/r+1)
I put this into the equation of x for both cycloid.
x=r(arccos(-y/r+1)-sin(arccos(-y/r+1)))
x=r(arccos(-y/r+1)-sin(arccos(-y/r+1))+u)
When I make these...
Thanks for the immediate answer.
Yes, I can understand that, the intersection of a curtate or a prolate cycloid is very different.
As far as I know, transcendent in this case means that, there is no way to express t from the equation, that has t and sin(t) in it also. Because you would get in...
Homework Statement
Greetings everyone!
I would like to know, how to calculate the intersection point of two cycloids.
Homework Equations
The equations of the cycloid are the following:
x=r(t-sin(t))
y=r(1-cos(t))
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to solve it by myself, but I...
