Note: Make sure your calculator is in radian mode for this problem, and that you switch it back after this problem. There are two particles (1 and 2) that are moving around in space. The force that particle 2 exerts on 1 is given by: F1(t) = F,e-(t/T) î + Fy sin(2t/T) ĵ Where the parameters have the values: F, = 14.5 N, F, = -91 N, T=78 s. We will consider a time interval that begins at t; = 0 s and ends at tf = 665 s.
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).
