3. Shortly a.fter launch, a satellite is deploying its solar. panel$ parts of which are shown in
the figure. Knowing that the satellite spins about the z axis at the constant rate f,},
determine the velocity and acceleration of point .4 with respect to the origin of the
body-fixed coordinate system fr - y - z as a function af. 0, P and their derivatives.

4. A single.engine turbojet airplane has its minimum speed u at the top of a vertical circle
of radirx p. At that instant, the airplane is executing a roll, clockwise as seen by the pilot,
at angular speed u1. The engine turns at the constant angular speed O (with respect to the
body of the airplane) about the longitudinal axis , which is labeled r in the diagra,m. This
rotation is also cloclrwise from the pilot's point of view. Determine the absolute angular
velocity and anguiar acceleration of the engine.'
