A boy then catches the ball on the way down when it is 1.20 $\mathrm{m}$ above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.

INSTANT ANSWER

Let $P$ be a point at a distance $d$ from the center of a circle of radius $r .$ The curve traced out by $P$ as the circle rolls along a straight line is called a trochoid. (Think of the motion of a point on a spoke of a bicycle wheel.) The cycloid is the special case of a trochoid with $d=r .$ Using the same parameter $\theta$ as for the cycloid and, assuming the line is the $x$ -axis and $\theta=0$ when $P$ is at one of its lowest points, show that parametric equations of the trochoid are $$x=r \theta-d \sin \theta \quad y=r-d \cos \theta$$ Sketch the trochoid for the cases $d < r$ and $d > r.$
