I'm trying to wrap my brain around sympy and am looking for a little help. Let's say I have a line 'y=m*x' (y-intercept is zero). Let's also say I have a circle of radius 'r' whose center is constrained to be along a horizontal line a specific distance 'd' below the x-axis. Given m, r and d, how might I code sympy to determine the circle's x-value where the given line is tangent to the circle (i'm only interested in the tangent on the left side of the circle). I also would like to determine the (x,y) of the tangent point.
Feel free to nudge me in the right direction if you don't have the time to offer a more complete solution. For those interested, my interest is related to the design a cam profile that uses a roller-type follower. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
