EQUATIONS OF MOTION
SIMULTANEOUS ROTATION OF A PARTICLE ABOUT 
TWO AXES


Fig 9
 

Rotation about primary (X) axis

X1 = 0
Y1 = r cos a

Z1 = -r sin a

Rotate above system about secondary (Z) axis

X2 = Y1 sin b
Y2 = Y1 cos b

Z2 = Z1

Add translation along X axis

X = A(t) + X2
Y = Y2
Z = Z2
Where  A = some constant

Total equation of motion for particle as function of time (t):
For the case under consideration: 

A = 1
r  = .5
b = 22.5(t) degrees
a = 2b

Thus: 

X = t + .5 cos(45t)sin(22.5t)
Y = .5 cos(45t)cos(22.5t)
Z = -.5 sin(45t)
