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 …

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a rectangular metal plate is given byT(x, y) = 100 6x2 + y2 (a) Find the rate of change of T at the point (3, 4) in the direction of the vector (−3, −4) (b) At the point (3, 4), find a unit vector in the direction in which the temperature increases the fastest. (c) What is the maximum rate of change of T at the point (3, 4)?

Find D in cartesian coordinates) at P(6,8,-10) caused by a uniforms surfacecharge density p, 57.2pC/m² on the plane x = 7.

Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.
