A small sphere slides without friction on a smooth wire bent in the shape of acycloid (figure 2) whose parametric equation is:
x =a( ϴ− sinϴ )y = a (1 + cos ϴ)
Remark: A parametric equation is composed of the (x, y) coordinates of the system and is counted as asingle equation even if the coordinates are separated.
