Problem 7/24

Should the R p/o be in terms of the stationary axis or the axis of the viewer?

It should be in the same axis as what you put your combined omega value in.

If your omega is in terms of an axis defined at point O then r(O to P) will be a two term vector.

If you defined omega from an axis at point p and you have an axis that goes through both point p and point o then your r(o to p) term will just be 24(whatever axis you chose to be through point o and p).

If you defined your axis in another way just make sure to have both omega and r(o to p) in the same coordinate axis.
