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).
Multiple-Concept Example 7 deals with the concepts that are important in this problem. A penny is placed at the outer edge of a disk (radius = 0.168 m) that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center. The period of the rotation is 1.57 s. Find the minimum coefficient of friction necessary to allow the penny to rotate along with the disk.
