Particles of mud are thrown from the rim of a rolling wheel. Ifthe forward speed of the wheel is v0,and the radius of the wheel is b, show that the greatest heightabove teh ground that the mud can go is
b+(vo^2)/(2g)+(gb^2)/(2vo^2)
at what point on the rolling wheel does this mud leave?
(note: It is necessary to assume that vo^2 ⥠bg.)

This is a question from the book "Analytical Mechanics" seventhedition by fowles and cassiday. chapter 4 problem 7. cramster "has"the solution worked out but two problems. 1) it's wrong and 2) itis damn near impossible for me to follow.
The person doing the problem just pulls random equations out touse without saying why. If i knew why they were being used thatwould basically solve most of my problems about the question. Alsothe few discriptions the problem has seems to have very badgrammar/punctuation and so trying to follow it is nearimpossible.
So any work through of the problem would be great. But more ofwhat I'm looking for is what should be going through one's mindwhen proceeding with the problem? What equations should be used andWHY?
