These notes are a supplement to FE Reference Handbook , 9.5 Version, for Computer-
Based Testing, NCEES, June 2018, pp. 77-84.
These notes were prepared for the FE/EIT Exam Review Course class meeting held on

Kinematics – deals with motion alone apart from considerations of
force and mass.
Kinetics – relates unbalanced forces with changes in motion.

Instantaneous Center of Rotation in Plane Motion
Suppose
v

in the previous analysis. Then,
v A
= ω × r rel
This result implies the body is rotating for an instant about point B. Such a
point is called an instantaneous center of rotation (I.C.R.). Such a point can be
determined, as follows, if the velocities of two different particles in a body
are known.
Note: The location of the I.C.R. changes with time in general. Hence,
