A frictionless wire is bent into the shape of a cycloid curve, with coordinates given by the parametric equations ? = ?(? + sin ?), ? = ?(1 − cos ?), for −? < ? < ?. The x axis is horizontal, and y is vertically upwards. A bead of mass m slides freely on the wire. Show that the distance s, measured along the wire from the origin, is given by ? = 4? sin.

I need to rescale (4) from the first page to the equation on the second page. 2.[60pts.] A bead of mass m is constrained to slide along a straight rigid horizontal wire. A spring with natural length Lo and spring constant k is attached to the bead and to a support point a distance h from the wire. See Figure 1. Let z(t) denote the position of the bead on the wire at time t. (Note that x is measured...
