Transcribed Image Text:A circle C of radius 2r has its center at the origin. A circle of radius r rolls without slipping in the counterclockwise
direction around C. A point P is located on a fixed radius of the rolling circle at a distance b from its center, 0<b<r.
Let L be the line from the center of C to the center of the rolling circite and be the angle that L makes with the positive
x-axis. Using t as a parameter we will see in a video (coming soon) that parametric equations of the
path traced out by P are x(t) = 3r cost + b cos 3t and y(t) = 3r sint + b sin 3t. In most rotary engines the sides of the
equilateral triangle (the rotor) are replaced by arcs of circles centered at the opposite vertices, thus the diameter of
the rotor is constant. Show that the rotor will fit in the epitrochoid if b ≤ 3/2 (2 - √3)r
