As an example, the concept of stability andequilibrium are introduced using “the point”, “the line”, and “the plane” models2. First, aconceptual discussion about translations and rotations is presented. Then a more specificdiscussion ensues where the degrees of freedom are established (3, 5, or 6 degrees of freedomdepending on which model is being examined) and whether those degrees of freedom aretranslational or rotational.
