physical experience a cone on a plane

We'll get a better understanding of this phenomenon by examining the drawing that illustrates the top view of A and the side view of this experience. Note that the guides which support the cone's motion are positioned at an angle to one another. Consequently, when the system is in its "lower" position A, the cone rests on them near the midpoint, while in the "upper" position B, it comes into contact with its ends. The guides' inclination relative to the horizontal surface of the table is chosen such that the center of gravity of the cone C in position A lies above its level in position B. As a result, when the system appears to be moving from the bottom up, the cone actually rolls downward, governed by the principles of classical mechanics.
