Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body
Objectives

  • To classify the various types of rigid-body planar motion.
  • To investigate rigid-body translation and show how to analyze motion about a fixed axis.
  • To study planar motion using an absolute motion analysis.
  • To provide a relative motion analysis of velocity and acceleration using a translating frame of reference.
  • To show how to find the instantaneous center of zero velocity and determine the velocity of a point on a body using this method.
  • To provide a relative motion analysis of velocity and acceleration using a rotating frame of reference.
