sin(theta) = y/r and cos(theta) = x/r etc. It's not that simple is it? I could cos or sin both sides of theta = wt but the I'll get something that looks like: y/r = sin(wt)...

Homework Statement A particle slides along a wire which is rotating at a constant angular velocity w. In polar coordinates the equation of constraint is : theta' - w = 0 OR theta - wt = 0. * What is the equation of constraint in cartesian coordinates? Homework Equations The...
