Chapter 18: Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy

"In this chapter we will apply work and energy methods to problems involving force, velc9ity, and displacement related to the planar motion of a rigid body. Before doing this, however, it will first be necessary to develop a means of obtaining the body�s kinetic energy when the body is subject o to translation, rotation about a foxed axis, or general plane motion."
