For the 'Yaw' operation about Z-axis, which of the following represents the rotation matrix?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the correct rotation matrix that represents the 'Yaw' operation about the Z-axis. We need to identify the appropriate matrix from the given options (a, b, c, d) that corresponds to this transformation.

More Information

The rotation matrix for the Yaw about the Z-axis typically takes the form: [[cos(α), -sin(α), 0], [sin(α), cos(α), 0], [0, 0, 1]]. Option (d) matches this structure.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the rotation matrix for the Z-axis with those for the X or Y axes.
