Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body
Velocity of Point B in a Rotating Frame
Description
A rotating frame of reference helps describe the motion of point B on a moving member AB. The member has linear motion, and point B also rotates around point A. To track that motion, position vectors for A and B are first written in a fixed reference frame.
A second frame, x'y', is then used to s...

Transcript
Consider a member AB in linear motion. Simultaneously point B rotates around point A.
The position vectors of A and B are determined using a stationary reference frame.
The relative position of point B with respect to point A is expressed using an additional frame of reference x'y', which translates and rotates with respect to the...
