I pro-pose to treat a fairly general typeof problem of this kind, viz.: giventico parallel plane curves c and t\,the distance between the two being a(Fig. 5); two particles of mass mand niy, connected by a ivdghtles rodof length a, are constrained to movealong c andc^. No external forces act y-on the particles. Under uhaf circum-stances does the supposition that motion takes place lead to conditions uhirhare compatible: (a) when c and f, are smooth, (b) irhen c and c^ an- rough?. Fig.
