Thanks for your replies.
So is it correct to say that in rigid body dynamics, such as in Euler's equations of motion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_equations_(rigid_body_dynamics)) we're only concerned with the "spin angular velocity"?
I'm trying to learn about adding angular velocities, and I'm confused about something. In this diagram...

there is a large orange disc rotating with angular velocity A (relative to the ground), and attached to the large orange disc is a small green disc, which is...
I've been reading the book "Classical Mechanics" by John Taylor, and in the chapter about noninertial reference frames, it states that the direction of 𝑔 (the apparent gravity, which includes the centrifugal force) is not necessarily aligned with the direction of 𝑔0 (the true gravity direction...
Hi all,
I have been reading the book "Computational Dynamics" by Ahmed Shabana, and have a few questions.
The book talks about creating "free-body diagrams" for constrained rigid multibody dynamics problems.
I have attached two examples:
The first is a "pendulum with a moving base":
which...
