    Transformations Between Coordinate Systems

    Not at all, I'm busy cramming ;) Bear with me please, I'm still not getting this. Without adding anything, (0,0) in the pq frame would be (10,2) in the x,y, NOT (0,0), no? The p,q frame is already shifted +10,+2. (correct me here if I'm wrong, this is in disagreement with what you wrote...

    Transformations Between Coordinate Systems

    *facepalm* Story of my life here misreading a question and spending a LONG, FRUSTRATED time on it. Thanks, remove the position shift and there we go. I wish there was a delete button right now ;) Edit: Actually, I'll make use of this then: For the next question it's a conversion from a p/q...

    Transformations Between Coordinate Systems

    Homework Statement The velocity of a ball in an x-y coordinate system is (10, -5) where distance is measured in metres. A second coordinate system, p-q, uses units of feet (1 ft = 0.3048 m). The p-axis is oriented at alpha = 15 degrees relative to the x-axis. The origin of the p-q system is...
