Can it be plotted in MATHCAD Prime 8?

Can it be plotted in MATHCAD Prime 8?

Hello, I'm new to MATHCAD. I was wondering if the following Dynamic Motions problem can be plotted in MATHCAD prime. If so, please show me how! The plot would need to be just like in the picture. Tennis racquet graph.png

For those simple functions using "odesolve" is kind of overkill and was done for demonstration purposes only 😉

Thanks Valery for the link! I'm currently trying to get my kids interested in MATHCAD. They (myself included) may find it easier to understand with the help of your book.

Werner, thank you very much! I greatly appreciate the "overkill" as well!

 

I have had MATHCAD for about a year now, but am just now finding the time to tinker with it. 

 

Cheers!

One additional remark: Your pic uses vx and vy for the first derivatives of x and y. This can be done in Prime, too. But in this case you would have to solve not only for x and y but also additionally for vx and vy:

I considered this unnecessary as we could as well define

after the solve block in case vx is needed as a separate function.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the added info!
