Abstract
In a preliminary manuscript, written May 1975, F. W. Sears has argued that the paradox of the right angle lever arises from the use of the noncovariant definition of length, with which the Lorentz contraction is connected. He suggested that the problems connected with relativistic formulations of statics would be removed by a manifestly covariant description, using tensor quantities only. In this article a covariant formulation of the torque/angular mementum relationship is discussed, and it is shown that this covariant formulation requires an asynchronous description in an arbitrary inertial frame.
