A robotic arm is set to operate in a 3D workspace defined by its HTM. If the arm's base is at (2, 3, 5) and it requires a rotation of 90 degrees about the z-axis, find the new position of the end effector.
💡 Hint: Remember to break down the transformation into its rotational and translation components.
Given the following DH parameters: \( \theta = 30^\circ, d = 2, a = 5, \alpha = 90^\circ \), derive the DH transformation matrix.
💡 Hint: Use trigonometric identities for calculations, and ensure units are consistent.
