(a) Express in terms of Euler’s angles the constraint conditions for a uniform sphere rolling without slipping on a flat horizontal surface. Show that they are nonholonomic.
(b) Set up the Lagrangian equations for this problem by the method of Lagrange multipliers. Show that the translational and rotational parts of the kinetic energy are separately conserved. Are there any other constants of motion?
