To find the locus of the point of intersection of two rods rotating about fixed points in opposite directions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have two rods rotating about fixed points. Let's denote the fixed point for the first rod as \( O \) (at the origin, \( (0, 0) \)) and the fixed point for the second rod as \( A \) (at \( (a, 0) \)). - The first rod rotates with an angular speed \( \omega \) and the second rod rotates with an angular speed \( 2\omega \). ...

In a children's park a heavy rod is pivoted at the centre and is made to rotate about the pivot so that the rod always remains horizontal. Two kids hold the rod near the ends and thus rotate with the rod figure.
