CURVILINEAR MOTION. 238. Velocity of a body down a curve in a vertical plane. Let ST be any curve in the plane VOX, referred to OY and OX 2,s axes, OF being posi-tive downwards. Let P bethe position of the body atany instant and let PA =(g) represent the accelerationdue to gravity. Draw AC_L to the tangent PB, andFig. 61. let PAC = 6 ; then. PC = g sin $ = acceleration in direction of motion. Mechanical Applications 375 But if we let PB = ds, then PA = dy; hence -^ = sin 0. ds Hence, § 82 d2s a¥ ~~ dsd2s df- Jy- = gds = gdy. Integrating between limits y andy we have ds2 2dt2^ g(y- ?/) (0 .-. § 17, v*= 2g(y-/). Comparing the last equation with (c) § 233, Cor., we seethat the velocity acquired by a body in rolling down a curve isthe same as it would acquire in falling freely through the verticalheight. Cor. From (1) we have ds ds dy dt ^2g(y- /) dy ^2g(y- y^f> ds dy .. /= I -r , • (2) J ) W We are to find what this expression becomes when appliedto the cycloid. 376 Integral Calculus From the equation of the cycloid, x — a vers-1- — V2 ay — y*, we obtain dx y
