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).

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside of the outer edge of the cylinder, which has a diameter of D = 3035 m that is large enough such that its curvature is not readily noticeable to the inhabitants. (The space station in the figure is not drawn to scale.) Once the space station is rotating at the necessary angular speed o to create an artificial gravity of 1 g, how many minutes would it take the space station to make one revolution? revolution: minutes D 1 3
