Tautochrone curve

A tautochrone or isochrone curve (from Greek prefixes tauto- meaning same or iso- equal, and chrono time) is the curve for which the time taken by an object sliding without friction in uniform gravity to its lowest point is independent of its starting point on the curve. The curve is a cycloid, and the time is equal to π times the square root of the radius (of the circle which generates the cycloid) over the acceleration of gravity. The tautochrone curve is related to the brachistochrone curve, which is also a cycloid. (Wikipedia).

Tautochrone curve on a Spherical Surface

In this video, we look at the differential equation that must be satisfied by all tautochrone curves. It is well known that the cycloid is has the tautochrone property in cartesian geometry. We use our differential equation to find the cycloid's counterpart in Spherical coordinate system.

What are some characteristics of an isosceles trapezoid

👉 Learn how to solve problems with trapezoids. A trapezoid is a four-sided shape (quadrilateral) such that one pair of opposite sides are parallel. Some of the properties of trapezoids are: one pair of opposite sides are parallel, etc. A trapezoid is isosceles is one pair of opposite sides

Parametrized curves and algebraic curves | Differential Geometry 3 | NJ Wildberger

This lecture discusses parametrization of curves. We start with the case of conics, going back to the ancient Greeks, and then move to more general algebraic curves, in particular Fermat's cubic, the Folium of Descartes and the Lemniscate of Bernoulli. We talk about the 17th century's fa

We consider a closed oriented surface of genus at least 2. For any positive integer k, an essential closed curve on the surface with k self-intersections is called a k-curve. A pair of curves on the surface are said to be k-equivalent, if they have the same intersection numbers with each k
