Document Summary
Make sure you are on the ctools cite. Review the course overview and syllabus document, including course schedule. Come prepared with questions in your first recitation. Form a team and submit your team preference by 17th. Stop by the machine shop to check out the project 1. Sign up for machine shop training (see corrected link) Kinematics: the study of geometric aspects of motion without any consideration of forces. Kinetics: the study of forces involved during motion. The study of relative displacements (linear and angular) between rigid bodies without the consideration of forces. The minimum" number of geometric parameters" needed to unambiguously determine the position and orientation of a rigid body in space. Degrees of freedom do not determine the shape of a. Geometric parameters that determine the position and orientation of a rigid body in space can be redundant. Kinematic pair is a connection between two rigid bodies.
