PROBLEM 1
A ship in the ocean is undergoing an arbitrary prescribed rigid-body motion in three dimensions,
as shown in Fig.L. This motion is followed in terms of the ship’s roll(1), pitch(2) and yaw(3), lead-
ing to the 1-2-3 Bnler angles. The 1-2-3 Euler angle sequence is described by the following flowchart:

PROBLEM 2
For the above mentioned Euler angle sequence, xpress #4 and ¢/ in & coordinate aystem.
PROBLEM 3
What is the angular velocity weer of coordinate system E obmerved in £7
, What isthe angular velocity were of coordinate system £" observed in €"7
. What is the angular vlocty weg, of coordinate nystem £” observed in £5?
4, Use solutions of above problems and the fact that angular velocity is a vector, to find wee,
Because £ is fixed we often write we/ey 28 We.
Hint: You should get we in terms of intermediate unit vectors,
PROBLEM 4
Now express we completely in £) coordinate system.
