A vector AP is rotated about the Z-axis by 60 degrees and is subsequently rotated about X-axis by 30 degrees. Give the rotation matrix that accomplishes these rotations in the given order.

Answer:

R = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&cos30&-sin30\\0&sin30&cos30\end{array}\right][/tex][tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos 60&-sin60&0\\sin60&cos60&60\0&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

Explanation:

The mappings always involve a translation and a rotation of the matrix. Therefore, the rotation matrix will be given by:

Let [tex]\theta[/tex] and [tex]\alpha[/tex] be the the angles 60⁰ and 30⁰ respectively

that is [tex]\theta[/tex] = 60⁰ and

[tex]\alpha[/tex] = 30⁰

The matrix is given by the following expression:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&cos30&-sin30\\0&sin30&cos30\end{array}\right][/tex][tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos 60&-sin60&0\\sin60&cos60&60\0&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

The angles can be evaluated and left in the surd form.
