We know v and w in terms of qany difficulty will arise from r

This will depend on the surface

flat, horizontal surface — we’ve been doing this

flat surface — we can do this today

general surface: z = f(x, y) — this can be done for a rolling sphere

€

v =ω × r

€

r = −aJ2

Actually, it’s something of a question as to where the difficulties will arise in general

The key to the problem lies in the constraint matrix

The analysis is pretty simple for flat surfaces, whether horizontal or tilted

Let’s play with the tilted surface

Choose a Cartesian inertial system such that i and j lie in the tilted planeand choose i to to be horizontal, so that j points down hill

(This is a rotation of the usual system about i)

9

€

y = cosα ′ y + sinαz'

z = cosα ′ z − sinα ′ y

10

so the potential energy in the primed coordinates is

€

V = mg cosα ′ z − sinα ′ y ( )

the kinetic energy is unchanged

We can go forward from here exactly as beforeeverything is the same except for gravity

11

This has the same body system as beforebut the angle q can vary

(it’s equal to -0.65π here)

r remains equal to –aJ2

but we need the whole w

The Lagrangian simplifies because of the spherical symmetry

We have a constraint, which we can parameterize

€

x 2 + y 2 + z2 = R + a( )2

€

x = R + a( )sinξ cosχ , y = R + a( )sinξ sin χ , z = R + a( )cosξ

The rolling constraint appears to have three componentsbut the normal component has already been satisfied

€

v −ω × r = 0

€

k × r( ) ⋅ v −ω × r( ) = 0

k × k × r( )( ) ⋅ v −ω × r( ) = 0

The normal is parallel to r, so I need two tangential vectors

I have three remaining Euler-Lagrange equationsand two constraint equations that I need to differentiate

to give me five equations for the generalized coordinates

We need to go to Mathematica to see how this goes.

Wheel within a wheel

Treat them both as hoopsradii r1 > r2

c

€

y2 = r1 − r2( )sin χ

z2 = r1 − r1 − r2( )cosχ

24

We have holonomic constraints

Put us in two dimensions

€

x1 = 0 = x2

φ1 =π

2= φ2

θ1 = −π

2= θ2

realize that z1 = r1

25

We have an interesting connectivity constraint —define the position of the small wheel in terms of the angle c

€

y2 = y1 + r1 − r2( )sinχ , z2 = r1 + r1 − r2( )cosχ

The second and third Euler-Lagrange equations are fairly simpleso I will use those to find the two Lagrange multipliers

€

λ1 = −m1r1˙ ̇ ψ 1, λ 2 = −m2r2˙ ̇ ψ 2

To solve the problem we use the first and fourth Euler-Lagrange equationsand the differentiated constraints

The solution is numerical and we need to go to Mathematica to look at it.
