    Undergrad Degree of Freedom for Rigid Body & Rotating CD

    the degrees of freedom of a CD, three for position and one for rotation, which means it has four degrees of freedom

    Solve x and y for Matrix Equations: 2y-4x-5=0, 3x+y-1=0

    to know whether you answer right or not, substitute back x=3/2 and y=11/2 in your equations and the answer should be 2(11/2) - 4(3/2) - 5 =11-6-5= 0, which means you have the right answer
