1. Use the goniometer data obtained from last week's walking condition to develop an E-trajectory plot using Excel.

2. Use the goniometer data obtained from last week's walking condition to develop an S-trajectory plot using Excel.

3. Describe a "real world" task that includes a nonholonomic scleronomic contraint.

4. Develop a well thought out paragraph that addresses the issue of how constraints may impact what measures you select to represent motion associated with a particular task.
