    Figure out which object is “of interest.”
    If you're looking for the motion of a rolling cart, the cart is the object of interest. Draw a sketch! This may help you sort out which object is which in your problem

    I assume the object of interest is rolling down a slope so there would be a couple of things, 'of interest' including the slope.

    Ok, wait here and I'll figure this out for you. Did you want the sketch done in pen or pencil? Or does it not matter?

    odinn7, I want you to draw a cart with a rock in it going uphill, pulled by Sisyphus.
    (Please)

    Ok, I'll add that to my list. When I am done drawing out the diagram for the OP, I still have 6 others to get to before your request. I am drawing these up in AutoCAD so I will be sure that they are accurate and true to scale.
