3. A bead is free to move on a frictionless wire that rotates at constant about the z-symmetry axis. The shape of the wire
satisfies . Find the condition on that allows for the bead to remain stationary on the wire at a point other than at z = 0.

L=T-V
T=?
V=?

Find the angular frequency at which the position of the bead remains fixed at a certain R.
Thus in that case the change in radial coordinate "r" with respect to time is 0, the velocity and
acceleration is 0. But the angular acceleration is nonzero.
