4: Rigid Body Motion

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This chapter discusses the motion of rigid bodies, with a heavy focus on its most nontrivial part: the rotation. Some byproduct results of this analysis enable a discussion, at the end of the chapter, of the motion of point particles as observed from non-inertial reference frames.
