• Give three choices of generalized coordinates for bead sliding on an elliptical wire in vertical plane with major axis along the (z\)- axis. At time \(t=0\) it lies in \(Y-Z\) plane as shown in \Figref{EllipticWire}.
• The now that wire rotates with constant angular speed of (\omega\) around the vertical axis passing through the center.
