| Title |
Brachistochrone for a Rolling Cylinder |

| Abstract |
The motion of a heavy homogeneous cylinder is considered as a no-slip rolling along the desired curve. We obtain a functional in the form of the total time of the cylinder rolling and solve the corresponding variational problem of minimizing this functional. We obtain an algebraic equation for the directional line of steepest descent, brachistochrone, in parametric form. We use the equation of motion of the cylinder with constraint reaction to determine the conditions of implementation of its pure rolling without separation and slip with respect to the brachistochrone. |
