    Thank you for not creating cycloid content!

    (In my denomination we celebrate on the twenty-second of August, how weird is that?)

          explain why the red line is not the same as the line in the original content, if the circles are moving the same way

            Tricky, right?

            It’s because there is “friction” and the part of the circle touching the line can’t move relative to it, and so you get that “cusp” shape.

            Maybe someone else can give a better explanation, I haven’t had any coffee yet.
