Hi!

For my lecture advanced dynamics, I got the question to make a sketch of the coordinate system and the particle’s motion, with the following position vector:

r(t) = (a cos(ωt))i + (b sin(ωt))j + (ct)k

In this function, ω is in [rad/s], a and b are in [m], t in [s] and c is [m/s].

I have no idea what this should look like, and I was thinking about plotting this with Maple, but thus far I'm not succeeding in plotting it. Which function or method can I use to visualize this in Maple?

Thanks a lot!
