A robot rotates about its base at 2 rpm while lowering its arm and extending its hand. It lowers its arm at the rate of 120? per minute and extends its hand at the rate of 5 m/min. The arm is 0.5 m long. The xyz coordinates of the hand are given by

Where t is the time in minutes
Obtain the three-dimensional plot of the path of the hand for 0 ? t ? 0.2 min.
x = (0.5 + 5t) sin (2) cos (4mt) (2) sin(4m) 3 y = (0.5 + 5t) sin z = (0.5 + 5t) cos 2T 3
