  12. Remember the bead traveling between two points and the question is
  13. "What is its path?"  and it turns out to be a cycloid.
  14. My questions are:
  15. 1) What if the bead has a velocity near the speed of light?
  16. or 
  17. 2) If the bead were a point charge in an electrical field, a vertical
  18. electrical field?
