Thank you for your answer :) You are right, I forgot to mention a critical point, the field can produce a torque AND a force (think about dipole-dipole interactions for example). Being a uniaxial particle the orientation involves just two degrees of freedom, to symplify the problem. The third...

Hello everyone. I have the following problem: Find the equations of motion of a rigid body under the effect of a field that applies a torque around a point which is different from its center of mass. Let's say for simplicity that the particle is uniaxial and the torque is applied somewhere on...
