Hello,

I am first year mechanical engineering student and I am struggling with the concept of moment, rotation and angular velocities, accelerations of rigid bodies. Can someone recommend an article with problems or an excerpt from a book or something similar to help me. It would be great if there are some example solutions.

Thanks in advance.
