Question

Was confused on how to begin this problem.

An astronaut drops a wrench while on a space walk from her space station (based on a true story!) (Figure 8.31). Assume that there are no forces acting on the wrench and that the space station is translating at constant velocity IvO'/O and rotating with respect to an inertial frame I at constant angular rate Ohm. Let B be a body frame attached to the space station. Use the coordinates (x, y)B to derive the kinematics of P with respect to O, and then find the equations of motion of x and y. If the astronaut releases the wrench from rest in B, what is the initial velocity IvP/O?
