Document Summary

Axis of rotation of a wheel is its axel, as the wheel rotates each and every point on it moves i a circular path on the axis of rotation. Angular position: defined to be the angle that a line from the axis of rotation to a point makes with a reference line (angle measured from the reference line) (unit: radians which are dimensionless) At the reference line = 0 and it can be chosen to point in any direction but must be used consistently. By convention, >0 counterclockwise from the reference line; Radian: the angle for which the arc length on a circle of radius r is equal to the radius of the circle. The arc length s for an arbitrary angle is given by s= r measured in radians. This formula is only for radians; not degrees or revolutions; in a complete revolution the arc length is c= 2 r.
