Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body (Week 5, Chapter 16)

In this episode, we dive into Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body, based on Week 5 class material and Chapter 16 of Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics by R.C. Hibbeler (14th Edition).

We cover:

• The fundamentals of translation, rotation, and general plane motion

• Relative velocity and acceleration analysis

• The concept of the instantaneous center of zero velocity (IC)

• How to apply these principles in real-world mechanical systems

Perfect for students revising for exams or trying to solidify their understanding of motion in two dimensions — no fluff, just focused learning.
