 +
 +The sound information in venyl records is stored in small undulations of the walls of a groove
 +that runs in a spiral from the outer rim of the disc, at a distance $R_o$ from the centre,
 +towards its center where it stops at a inner radius $R_i < R_o$. 
 +Neighboring lanes of the groove have a fixed distance $d$.
 +The sound is picked up by a needle that glides through the groove when the disc is turned.
 +Let $\theta = 0$ be the angle where the needle first touched the disc at time $t_0$,
 +and $\theta(t)$ be the overall traversed angle at time $t \geq t_0$.
 +In the frame of the disc we will denote the position of the needle as
 +\begin{align*} %  \label{eq:}
 +    \mathbf q (\theta) = R(\theta) \: \hat{\mathbf r}(\theta)
 +\end{align*}
 +Here  $\hat{\mathbf r}(\theta)$ is the radial unit vector of polar coordinates taken with respect to the center of the disc,
 +and $R(\theta)$ is the distance from the center.
 +
 +**a)**
 +Verify that  $R(\theta) = R_a - \varepsilon \: \theta$.
 +What is the relation between  $\varepsilon$ and $d$?
 +
 +**b)**
 +What is the speed  $v$  of the needle while it glides through the groove?
 +
 +Show that one can express $v$ as follows
 +\begin{align*} %  \label{eq:}
 +   v = \dot\theta \; \sqrt{ R^2 + f(R) }
 +\end{align*}
 +Determine  $f(R)$.
 +
 +**★ c)**
 +Demonstrate that the length $L$ of the groove that is traversed while turning from  $\theta_I$ to $\theta_E$
 +can be written as
 +\begin{align*} %  \label{eq:}
 +    = \int_i^e \text{d}\theta \: \sqrt{1 + \theta^2}
 +\end{align*}
 +How do $i$ and $e$ depend on $\theta_I$ and $\theta_E$?
 +
 +** d)**
 +Observe that
 +\begin{align*} %  \label{eq:}
 +      \sqrt{1 + \theta^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \theta^2}} +  \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1 + \theta^2}}
 +\end{align*}
 +where the first term is the derivative of $\text{arcsinh}(x)$
 +and the latter term is related to $\sqrt{1 + \theta^2}$ by partial integration.
 +Use this information to evaluate $L$.
 +
 +**★ e)**
 +Compare your result with the following estimate:
 +
 +   - The groove covers an area of size  $A = \pi \, R_o^2 - \pi \, R_i^2$.\\ Why does this hold? How are  $R_o$ and $R_i$  related to  $\theta_I$ und $\theta_E$?
 +  - The area can also be estimated by multiplying the length $L$ of the groove with the groove distance, $d$, such that also $A \approx L\times d$. 
 + 
 +How well does the resulting estimate of $L$ agree with the result of the explicit calculation obtained in d).
 +
 +** f)**
 +An LP has an outer radius of $R_o = 15\,\text{cm}$ and the groove stops at the inner radius of about $R_i = 8\,$cm.
 +It is played with an angular speed of $33 \frac{1}{3}\,\text{rpm}$ (revolutions per minute),
 +and each side is playing for about $22\,\text{min.}$
 +What is the length of the groove and what is the distance $d$ between its neighboring revolutions?
