A general example of a linked body is an object that is made up of rigid bodies joined together by pivots, such as hinges and ball-socket joints.
If the pivots are frictionless, and I apply a force to one rigid body, how can I go about describing the subsequent angular acceleration of the individual rigid bodies, and also the entire linked body about its barycenter?
