Water-shedding ability of waterfowl and the brachistochrone problem

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Dale L. Schruben from the Department of Chemical and Gas Engineering, Texas A and M University-Kingsville, Kingsville, USA have published the research: Water-shedding ability of waterfowl and the brachistochrone problem, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors seek the path that will connect two points displaced horizontally and vertically in gravity, in minimum time.

SUMMARY

This problem is analogous to the classic brachistochrone problem. A frictionless bead on a wire has gravity operating on it to make the bead fall along the wire. If the bead falls the . . .
