Homework Statement
How do we find the motion equation and more specifically the motion equation of something with a mass $m$ in the vertical plane along a cylindrical path of radius $R$,
(Translation: A point of mass $m$ slides frictionless in the vertical plane along a cylindrical path of radius $R$).
The components in each direction unitaries give the following equations in the Serret Fernet referential.
\begin{cases} mr\ddot\theta = mg \sin\theta (1)\\
mg\dot\theta^2=mg\cos\theta - ||F_r|| (2)
\end{cases}
Why do we have the following motion (kinematics?) equation answer?
$$\ddot\theta -\frac{g}{R}\sin\theta = 0$$

The Attempt at a Solution
I tought we had to find $$\vec a$$, $$\vec v$$ and $$x(t)$$ but it seems to be wrong according to the answer above...
