Bodies Rocking on Planes and Cylinders, Spheroids and Spindles Rocking on Planes, Balls and Other Symmetrical Bodies Rocking in Elliptical and Other Holes

In continuance of earlier work (references below) the rocking of bodies of other shapes resting on different supports has been studied. The examples afford a useful study of the dynamical equations appropriate to such vibrations and provide simple and inexpensive experiments for students in the laboratory. Rocking bodies are often observed in every day occurrence, and interest in such motion is well worth development.
