Abstract

Newton’s laws deal with the dynamic behavior of a single particle and Euler’s laws generalize the analysis to the case of a system of particles. Rigid bodies form a special case of “systems of particles,” and their dynamic behavior is studied in depth in chapter 6. This chapter focuses on the kinematics of rigid bodies, i.e., the description of the motion of rigid bodies without consideration of the forces that create this motion.
