Physics 3210If v is a vector in one frame and v is the same vector in a rotated frame, we showed that v=Av, where A is a rotation matrix (the matrix of direction cosines). This determines v given A and v. If instead we know v and A, how can we find v?For a rotation matrix, ATA=I. What does this imply about the determinant of A?Which of the following is the correct matrix for a rotation about the x axis?Suppose a book is rotated in two different ways: from the same starting orientation, the book is rotated by 90o clockwise (1) about the x axis, then about the y axis, then about the z axis, or (2) about the y axis, then about the x axis, then about the z axis. Note: the axes are in the space frame. How do the final orientations of the book compare?Using Euler angles, we wish to construct a rotation matrix that rotates first by angle φ about the z axis (matrix Aφ), then by angle θ about the x axis (matrix Aθ), then by angle ψ about the z axis (matrix Aψ). How should we multiply the three rotation matrices to get the final rotation matrix, A(φ,θ,ψ)?Using Euler angles, we constructed a rotation matrix A(φ,θ,ψ) that rotates first by angle φ about the z axis (matrix Aφ), then by angle θ about the x axis (matrix Aθ), then by angle ψ about the z axis (matrix Aψ). What is the matrix A-1 that reverses (or undoes) this series of rotations?Slide 8What is the relationship between the principle moments of inertia I1, I2, and I3 for a symmetric top?For a symmetric top with I2=I3, we defined ε=(I1-I2)/I2.What is the sign of ε for an oblate object such as a coin?We showed that for force-free motion of a symmetric top, the angular momentum vector is given by What does this imply about the geometry of the three vectors?For force-free motion of a symmetric top in the body frame, ω precesses about the e1 axis with angular velocity Ω, and the angular momentum L lies in the same plane as ω and e1. What does this imply about the motion of the angular momentum vector L in the body frame?For force-free motion of a symmetric top in the space frame, we showed that .

This determines v given A and v.If instead we know v and A, how can we find v?A. v=AvB. v=ATvC. v=A2vD. We can’t determine v without first determining a different rotation matrix.For a rotation matrix, ATA=I.
