|| Hi,
||
|| Could someone explain how it is possible to have an
|| angular displacement greater than 2pi radians? Does
|| the word displacement have a different meaning in
|| rotational kinematics than it does in linear
|| kinematics? Is there a corresponding term for distance
|| in rotational kinematics?
||
|| Thanks,
||
