I need help proving that sin(θ)/√h is a constant in a cycloid and that it is not a constant in a circle.
I have defined h and θ in the image. θ is the angle between the vertical and the tangent line at a given point. h is the vertical distance from the beginning of the cycloid to the given point.
Thanks,
Ardalan
