Question

0i+Aj+Rk. A water slide in the shape of a helix with radius r is

located at its base at 0i+Bj+0k. The spirals in the Helix are

spaced delta z apart and it spirals downward in a spiral clockwise

manor. At t=0 a rider on a Ferris wheel is at 0i+Aj+2Rk. At the

same time a person at the waterslide is at -ri+Bj+2Rk. the person

on the water slide is sliding down at a constant velocity v.

Determine the position of the person on the Ferris wheel and on the

waterslide as a function of time in x,y,z coords. What is the

position of the person on the waterslide as viewed from the person

on the Ferris wheel? What are the velocity and accelerations if the

person on the waterslide as viewed from the person on the Ferris

wheel?

Not really sure where to start, any hints appreciated.
