Concept explainers

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 …

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 9P

ILW A stone is dropped at t = 0. A second stone, with twice the mass of the first, is dropped from the same point at t = 100 ms. (a) How far below the release point is the center of mass of the two stones at t = 300 ms? (Neither stone has yet reached the ground.) (b) How fast is the center of mass of the two- stone system moving at that time?
