A right circular cone of base circle radius R and slant height L rolls without slip on the ground. The line of contact with the ground rotates about the vertical at an angular rate Ω. Find the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the cone at the instant when the line of contact coincides with the Y axis. [Hint: Angular velocities can be added as they are vectors]
