Suppose 7(t) = cos(rt)i + sin(nt)j+ 3tk represents the position of a particle on a helix, where z is the height of the particle. (a) What is t when the particle has height 15? t (b) What is the velocity of the particle when its height is 15? (c) When the particle has height 15, it leaves the helix and moves along the tangent line at the constant velocity found in part (b). Find a vector parametric equation for the position of the particle (in terms of the original parameter t) as it moves along this tangent line. L(t) =||
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).
