Abstract
In this chapter a change of rigid frame of reference is considered and the general formula of velocity field in a rigid motion is given. Then, the translational, rotational, spherical, and planar motions are studied. Finally, the transformation formulae of velocity and acceleration from a rigid frame of reference to another one are determined. Exercises conclude the chapter.
