Problem 3
A hoop of mass m and radius R, rolls without slipping down an inclined
plane of angle a. The inclined plane of mass M moves horizontally. Let X
be the abscissa of point O' with respect to 0, and s be the abscissa of the
center of mass of the rolling hoop with respect to O'. Given: the moment of
inertia of the hoop is I = mR, and the condition of rolling without slipping
is expressed ass = R0:
1. Write the Lagrangian of the system.
2. Assuming that the Lagrangian of the system (inclined plane and hoop)
is given by:
1
L = ms" +(m + M)X" + ms'X'cos(a) + mg(s)sin(a)
3. Write the expression of the Lagrangian funetion
4. Derive the Euler Lagrange equations
5. Find s" and X" in terms of the masses (m,M), angle a and g
