Rigid Body Dynamics - Marble Rolling on a Circular Surface
Determine the EOM for a sphere object of radius \( r \) and mass \( m \) rolling on a circular crosssection of radius \( R \).
The center of mass is moving in a circular path relative to the center of the circular surface. Its center of mass has an angular position \(\theta \) relative to vertical going through the center of the circular cross-section but the angular rotation of the sphere relative to a vertical through its center of mass is \(\beta \).
Sum forces using polar or normal-tangential coordinates. Sum moments where the angular acceleration of the sphere is the acceleration of \(\beta \). Use a rolling without slipping constraint.
Determine the equation for acceleration of \(\theta \), the EOM of the problem.
