A wheel of radius r rolls without slipping along the inside of a fixed cylinder of radius

Question:

A wheel of radius r rolls without slipping along the inside of a fixed cylinder of radius R with a constant angular velocity ω. Denoting by P the point of the wheel in contact with the cylinder at t = 0, derive expressions for the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of P at any time t. (The curve described by point P is a hypocycloid.)
