 Bead on a horizontal hoop rotating about its rim

For a smooth horizontal circular hoop of radius $a$, rotated at constant angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis through a rim point, measure $\theta$ at that pivot from the diameter toward the bead. In rotating Cartesian coordinate system coordinates, $\mathbf{r}=a(1+\cos 2\theta ,\sin 2\theta ,0)$. The tangential component of the centrifugal acceleration gives the displayed equation; the Coriolis acceleration is normal to the hoop. The farthest point $\theta =0$ is stable for $\omega \ne 0$, with small oscillation angular frequency $|\omega |$. The pivot itself is unstable. This geometry differs from a vertical rotating hoop and has no tangential gravitational term.
