Homework Statement



Basically i have to prove a lagrange equation using a non-inertial reference frame. A bead on a hoop where the hoop rotates as in the image below.

F = Fg + Fcf

Homework Equations



mR(d2θ/dt2) = mΩ2Rcosθsinθ -mgsinθ

what I'm supposed to get

The Attempt at a Solution



Fg = -mgsinθ

Fcf = m(ΩxR)xΩ = mΩ2Rcosθsinθ

I know that

Ω = Ω(0 , sinθ, cosθ)

R = R( 0 , k I'm just lost and frustrated :(

This is probably late but does this work?
