Problem 1.2
If the positive direction of line ` is from D to C , find the component of the vector ErB=A along `.
Solution
Using the component system formed by the unit vectors O{ and O| , the vector ErB=A can be written as ErB=A D
.xB � xA/ O{ C .yB � yA/ O| , where .xA; yA/ and .xB ; yB/ are the Cartesian coordinates of points A and Brelative to the xy frame, respectively. By inspection we have .xA; yA/ D .1:000; 2:000/ ft and .xB ; yB/ D
.5:000; 1:000/ ft. Therefore, we have
ErB=A D .4:000 O{ � 1:000 O|/ ft: (1)
Next we find the unit vector parallel to ` and pointing from D to C . This is accomplished by finding ErC=D
and scaling it by its own magnitude.
ErC=D D .xC � xD/ O{ C .yC � yD/ O| D .3:000 O{ � 2:000 O|/ ft: (2)
Next, we derive the magnitude of ErC=D:
jErC=Dj D

The component of ErC=D along ` is then obtained by taking the dot product of ErB=A and Ou`, i.e.,
.rB=A/` D Œ.4:000 O{ � 1:000 O|/ ft� � .0:8319 O{ � 0:5546 O|/ D 3:882 ft; (5)

Problem 1.3
Find the components of ErB=A along the p and q axes.
Solution
Using the component system formed by the unit vectors O{ and O| , the vector ErB=A can be written as ErB=A D
.xB � xA/ O{ C .yB � yA/ O| , where .xA; yA/ and .xB ; yB/ are the Cartesian coordinates of points A and Brelative to the xy frame, respectively. By inspection we have .xA; yA/ D .1:000; 2:000/ ft and .xB ; yB/ D
.5:000; 1:000/ ft. Therefore, we have
ErB=A D .4:000 O{ � 1:000 O|/ ft: (1)
Now we find the unit vectors Oup and Ouq , which are the unit vectors orienting the p and q axes, respectively,
Oup D cos �p O{ C sin �p O|; (2)
Ouq D cos �q O{ C sin �q O|; (3)
where �p and �q are the angles formed by the p and q axes with the positive x axis, respectively, and thereforeare given by �p D � D 22:5ı, �q D .� C 90
ı/ D 112:5ı. Consequently, Eqs. (2) and (3) become
Oup D 0:9239 O{ C 0:3827 O| and Ouq D �0:3827 O{ C 0:9239 O| : (4)
Then desired components are obtained by computing the dot product of the vector ErB=A with the unit vectorsin Eqs. (4), i.e.,
.rB=A/p D Oup � ErB=A D�.4:000 O{ � 1:000 O|/ ft

Problem 1.4
Determine expressions for the vector ErB=A using both the xy and the pq coordinate systems. Next,determine jErB=Aj, the magnitude of ErB=A, using both the xy and the pq representations and establishwhether or not the two values for jErB=Aj are equal to each other.
Solution
Using the component system formed by the unit vectors O{ and O| , the vector ErB=A can be written as ErB=A D
.xB � xA/ O{ C .yB � yA/ O| , where .xA; yA/ and .xB ; yB/ are the Cartesian coordinates of points A and Brelative to the xy coordinate system, respectively. By inspection we have .xA; yA/ D .1:000; 2:000/ ft and.xB ; yB/ D .5:000; 1:000/ ft. Therefore, we have
ErB=A D .4:000 O{ � 1:000 O|/ ft; (1)
which, when expressed to three significant figures, gives
ErB=A D .4:00 O{ � 1:00 O|/ ft:
Now we find the unit vectors Oup and Ouq , which are the unit vectors orienting the p and q axes, respectively,
Oup D cos �p O{ C sin �p O| and Ouq D cos �q O{ C sin �q O|; (2)
where �p and �q are the angles formed by the p and q axes with the positive x axis, respectively, and thereforeare given by �p D � D 22:5ı, �q D .� C 90
ı/ D 112:5ı. Consequently, Eqs. (2) and (3) become
Oup D 0:9239 O{ C 0:3827 O| and Ouq D �0:3827 O{ C 0:9239 O| : (3)
Then, using Eqs. (1) and (3), the expression for ErB=A in the pq component system is

Problem 1.5
Suppose that you were to compute the quantitiesˇ̌ErB=A
ˇ̌xy
andˇ̌ErB=A
ˇ̌pq
, that is, the magnitude of thevector ErB=A computed using the xy and pq frames, respectively. Do you expect these two scalar values tobe the same or different? Why?
Solution
The magnitude of a vector is a fundamental property of the vector in question and it must be independent ofhow the vector is represented. In other words, a choice of frame only affects the values of the components ofa vector and not its magnitude or direction. For this reason, we expect the value of
ˇ̌ErB=A
ˇ̌xy
to be same asthat of
ˇ̌ErB=A
ˇ̌pq
.

Problem 1.6
The measure of angles in radians is defined according to the followingrelation: r� D sAB , where r is the radius of the circle and sAB denotes thelength of the circular arc. Determine the dimensions of the angle � .
Solution
Use the given definition of an angle in radians:
Œr�� D Œr� Œ�� D ŒsAB �: (1)
The radius r and the arc length s must have dimensions of length, we have that
ŒL� Œ�� D ŒL�: (2)
A simplification of the above relation yields that
Œ� � D 1; (3)
so that we conclude that
The angle � is dimensionless (or nondimensional):
Observe that since angles can be expressed in a variety of units, such as radian or degree, this problemillustrates the idea that some nondimensional quantities still require proper use of units.

Problem 1.7
A simple oscillator consists of a linear spring fixed at one end and a mass attached at the otherend, which is free to move. Suppose that the periodic motion of a simple oscillator is describedby the relation y D Y0 sin .2�!0t /, where y has units of length and denotes the verticalposition of the oscillator, Y0 is called the oscillation amplitude, !0 is the oscillation frequency,and t is time. Recalling that the argument of a trigonometric function is an angle, determine thedimensions of Y0 and !0, as well as their units in both the SI and the U.S. Customary systems.
Solution
Because the value of a trigonometric function must be nondimensional and because y has dimensions oflength, Y0 must also have dimensions of length:
ŒY0� D ŒL�:
A such, the units to express the quantity Y0 in the SI and the U.S. Customary systems are
Units of Y0 in the SI system: m.
Units of Y0 in the US Customary system: ft:
The quantity .2�!0t / is the argument of a trigonometric function and as such it must be nondimensional.Therefore we have
Œ2�!0t � D 1 ) Œ!0� Œt � D 1;
Œ!0� D1
ŒT �:
If we where to infer the units of !0 directly from its dimensions, we would conclude that the units of !0
are seconds to the power negative one. However, in this particular problem, this would lead to an erroneousconclusion. The reason for this is that, as indicated in the problem statement, the term !0 appears as partof the argument 2�!0t . When this happens, !0 is typically seen as the “number of 2� rad per unit time,”that is as a quantity that measures the number of oscillation cycles per unit time (for additional details, seethe discussion about Eqs. (9.4) and (9.8) on p. 674 of th textbook). In both the SI and the U.S. Customarysystems, the number of cycles per unit time are measured in hertz, which is a unit corresponding to 1 cycleper second. Hence, we have
In both the SI and the U.S. Customary systems, !0 has units of Hz (hertz), i.e., cycles per second:

Problem 1.8
To study the motion of a space station, the station can be modeled as a rigidbody and the equations describing its motion can be chosen to be Euler’sequations, which read
Mx D Ixx ˛x ��Iyy � I´´
�!y !´;
My D Iyy ˛y � .I´´ � Ixx/ !x !´;
M´ D I´´ ˛´ ��Ixx � Iyy
�!x !y :
In the previous equations, Mx , My , and M´ denote the x, y, and ´ com-ponents of the moment applied to the body; !x , !y , and !´ denote thecorresponding components of the angular velocity of the body, where angu-lar velocity is defined as the time rate of change of an angle; ˛x , ˛y , and˛´ denote the corresponding components of the angular acceleration of thebody, where angular acceleration is defined as the time rate of change of anangular velocity. The quantities Ixx , Iyy , and I´´ are called the principalmass moments of inertia of the body. Determine the dimensions of Ixx , Iyy ,and I´´ and determine their units in SI as well as in the U.S. Customarysystem.

Solution
We consider only one of the three equations as their dimensions are identical:

given that the additive terms in above equation must all the same dimensions.Because ˛x is the rate of change of an angular velocity, its units are:
Œ˛x� D1
ŒT �2: (2)
The term Mx is the component of a moment and therefore it must have the dimensions of force times length:
ŒMx� D ŒL� ŒF � D ŒM � ŒL�21
ŒT �2: (3)
Substituting Eqs. (2) and (3) into the last of Eqs. (1), we have
ŒM � ŒL�21

ŒT �2:
Therefore, we conclude that the dimensions of the quantities Ixx , Iyy , and I´´ are
ŒIxx� D ŒIyy � D ŒI´´� D ŒM �ŒL�2:
Because the quantities Ixx , Iyy , and I´´ have units of mass time length squared, their units in the SI and U.S.Customary systems are as follows:
Units of Ixx , Iyy , and I´´ in the SI system: kg�m2;
Units of Ixx , Iyy , and I´´ in the U.S. Customary system: slug�ft2 D lb�s2�ft.
