Circular motion can be modeled by using the parametric representations of the form x(t) = sin
t and y(t) = cos t. (A parametric representation means that a variable, t in this case, determines
both x(t) and y(t). This will give the full circle for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2𝜋. If we consider a 4-foot-
diameter-wheel making one complete rotation clockwise once every 10 seconds, show that the
motion of a point on the rim of the wheel can be represented by x(t) = 2 sin (𝜋t/5) and y(t) = 2
cos (𝜋t/5).
a. Find the positions of the point on the rim of the wheel when t = 2 seconds, 6 seconds,
and 10 seconds. Where was this point when the wheel started to rotate at t = 0?
b. How will the formulas giving the motion of the point change if the wheel is rotating
counterclockwise?
ANSWER:
Known : x(t) = sin t ; y(t) = cos t ; t = determines both x(t) and y(t)
0 ≤ t ≤ 2𝜋
D = 4 ft
p = 10 seconds

If the periodic function attains a minimum and a maximum, we define the amplitude,
A, as half the vertical distance between the highest point and the lowest point on the
graph.

So the motion of a point on the rim of the wheel represented by x(t) = 2 sin (𝜋t/5) and
a. The value of x(t) and y(t) when t = 2, 6, and 10 seconds, and t = 0 second
t = 2 seconds

t = 6 seconds
t = 10 seconds
x(10) = 0 y (10) = 2
t = 0 seconds
x(0) = 0 y (0) = 2
From the exercise we know that the wheel is rotating clockwise and the parametric
representation, t is positive in the formula has been proven before. So, if the wheel

Thus,
t = 5/2 t = 2,5
t = 2,5
