A cylindrical container has height
cm and radius
cm . It rests on a circular hoop which has also radius
cm and the hoop is fixed in a horizontal plane. The container rests with its axis horizontal and with each of its circular rims touching the hoop at two points. The cylinder is now moved so that each of its circular rims still touches the hoop at two points. Find, with proof, the locus of the centre of one of the cylinder's circular ends.
