Hi, I need help with something. I can't really imagine the movement described in the problem and I don't really know how the rotational and translational velocity combine. I would appreciate it if someone could answer and explain the matter.


At some instant a person’s forearm has a rotational velocity of (2, 1, 4), the elbow has translational velocity (1, 0, 0) and the wrist is at location (0, 1, 1) relative to the elbow. What is the translational velocity of the wrist


​

v =W x R might be a relevant equation
