Radius of inner disc is R. As it rolls up  the outer circular track of radius 2R, find  equation of trajectory of a point P on the  wheel until it comes into contact with  the outer track.

for R=2r the locus of P is a diameter  of the outer circle.

forR=2rthelocusofPisadiameteroftheoutercircle.

say n=(R/r)  rϕ=Rθ  ⇒ϕ=((Rθ)/r)  x_P =(R−r)sin θ+r sin (ϕ+α−θ)  ⇒(x_P /r)=(n−1) sin θ+sin [(n−1)θ+α]  y_P =R−(R−r)cos θ+r cos (ϕ+α−θ)  ⇒(y_P /r)=n−(n−1) cos θ+cos [(n−1)θ+α]

sayn=Rrrφ=Rθφ=RθrxP=(Rr)sinθ+rsin(φ+αθ)xPr=(n1)sinθ+sin[(n1)θ+α]yP=R(Rr)cosθ+rcos(φ+αθ)yPr=n(n1)cosθ+cos[(n1)θ+α]
