Finding The Trajectory of particle Kept on a rotating surface
Suppose we "Keep" a particle on a circular, rotating turn-table, rotating with constant angular velocity $\dot{\theta}$, (i.e, the at $t=0$,when the particle makes contact with the table, the ...

Computing angular acceleration of a composition of coordinate frame transformations
Given two coordinate frames $A$ and $B$, we can define the transformation between them by:
$[\vec r_{AB}]_A$, the vector from the origin of $A$ to the origin of $B$ (resolved in frame $A$), and
$q_{...

Position and displacement vector in Arc coordinate system
In Arc coordinate system the position of the particle is given by the length of the path(which is pre-determined and may also be curved) that it has travelled so how can we write it's position vector ...

Cartesian coordinate velocity and generalized coordinate velocity
use $x_k$ to denote the kth component of cartesian coordinate, and $q_k$ to denote the generalized coordinate.
Taking the derivate of $x_k(q_1,q_2,q_3,t)$ w.r.t. time, we have
$$\frac{d x_k(q_1,q_2,...
