If the rod of negligible mass is subjected to a couple moment of M = (30t^2) N⋅⋅m, and the engine of the car supplies a traction force of F = (15t) N to the wheels, where t is in seconds, determine the speed of the car at the instant t = 12.5 s. The car starts from rest. The total weight of the car and rider is 1.5 kN. Neglect the size of the car.
Rigid Body
A rigid body is an object which does not change its shape or undergo any significant deformation due to an external force or movement. Mathematically speaking, the distance between any two points inside the body doesn't change in any situation.
Rigid Body Dynamics
Rigid bodies are defined as inelastic shapes with negligible deformation, giving them an unchanging center of mass. It is also generally assumed that the mass of a rigid body is uniformly distributed. This property of rigid bodies comes in handy when we deal with concepts like momentum, angular momentum, force and torque. The study of these properties – viz., force, torque, momentum, and angular momentum – of a rigid body, is collectively known as rigid body dynamics (RBD).
