In this paper, during one-parameter closed planar homothetic motions, the
Steiner area formula and the polar moment of inertia were expressed. The
Steiner point or Steiner normal concepts were described according to whether
rotation number is different zero or equal to zero, respectively. The moving
pole point was given with its components and its relation between Steiner
point or Steiner normal was specified. The sagittal motion of a telescopic
crane was considered as an example. This motion was described by a double
hinge consisting of the fixed control panel of telescopic crane and the
moving arm of telescopic crane. The results obtained in the first section of
this study were applied for this motion.
