Question
(a) Explain the main difference between the Euler angle representation and Quaternion
representation for a 3D rotation problem, and write down how a unit Quaternion
representation can represent a complex rotation easily.
(b) Prove that under the assumption of very small rotations and right-hand convention,
the 3-D rotation matrix about the three fixed X-, Y-, and Z-axes can be represented as
follows:
- 0.
R= 0.
sy

where 0,0y,0, are the three Euler angles about the fixed X, Y, and Z - axes, respectively.
(c) Derive that the condition of geometric compatibility for a motion stage in spatial
motion is expressed as follows, under the assumption that all three Euler angles are very
small.

where the variables x, ys and z, are the translational displacements of the mass centre of
the motion stage along the fixed X-, Y-, and Z-axes, respectively, and 8sx, Osy and Os are
the rotational angles of the motion stage about the fixed X-, Y-, and Z-axes, respectively.
Also, xi, yi and z; are the translational displacements of any one point on the motion
stage along the X-, Y- and Z-axes, respectively.
Note: The local coordinates of any one point with regard to the mobile rigid body
coordinate system are x', y' and zi'. In the initial configuration, a mobile rigid-body
coordinate system O'-X'Y'Z' and a global fixed coordinate system 0-XYZ are coincident,
and both origins are at the mass centre, O', of the motion stage.
