Rigid Body Motion in the Plane
Rigid body motion encompasses several forms of movement, including translation and rotation in a plane. Angular kinematics describes the relationship between angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The chapter also delves into angular momentum and Euler’s laws of motion, providing a foundation for understanding the dynamics of rigid bodies.

What we have learnt
- A rigid body maintains constant distances between particles during motion.
- Angular kinematics defines the motion of points in rotating systems.
- Euler’s laws extend Newtonian concepts to rotational dynamics.
Key Concepts
- -- Rigid Body Motion
- Idealized motion where the distance between any two particles in a solid remains constant.
- -- Angular Displacement
- The angle through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified sense about a specified axis.
- -- Angular Momentum
- A vector quantity that represents the product of a body's rotational inertia and its angular velocity.
- -- Euler's Laws of Motion
- A set of equations describing the relationship between forces and motion for rigid bodies, inclusive of angular momentum.
