HW_03 - getting started

[cooperrc]

Greetings,
What are the toughest concepts/problems in HW_03 so far? Have you been able to create equations of motion based upon free body diagrams?

So far, most of the concepts in HW 3 have been okay! They line up with what I have learned in past classes. A hangup for me is learning some new notations and new ways of calculating familiar topics.

Thanks for sharing, glad you see how other course concepts can be directly applied here.

There are some notations that are a little awkward to use at first, like unit vectors and dots instead of d/dt, but it starts to be super useful as you build bigger problems or interacting systems.
