Abstract
The velocity of a body with respect to a reference frame is known if a set of variables has been specified from which the velocity of any point of a body can be derived. These variables are called velocity variables. Possibilities for describing the velocities of points of a rigid body can be based on the several methods of representing position discussed in Ch.3. Here we examine some of the basic concepts for representing velocity of translation.
