[QUOTE="harmyder, post: 5511546, member: 569378"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] While reading course lecture at ocw.mit i have stumpled upon such an equation $$\dot H_O = \sum_{i=1}^n (\dot r_i \times m_i v_i) + \sum_{i=1}^n (r_i \times m_i \dot v_i) = 0 + \sum_{i=1}^n (r_i \times (F_i + \sum_{j=1, j\ne i}f_{ij} )) = \sum_{i=1}^n (r_i \times Fi) + \sum_{i=1}^n M_i$$ I don't understand from where term with ##M_i## came. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] $$\begin{equation}r_i \times f_{ij} + r_j \times f_{ji} = (r_i − r_j ) \times f_{ij} = 0 \end{equation}$$ [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Because of equation (1) ##\sum_{i=1}^n r_i \times \sum_{j=1, j\ne i} f_{ij} = 0##, so the term ##\sum_{i=1}^n M_i## came from nowhere. And later they write: "[I]Note that external forces in general produce unequal moments about O and G while applied external moments (torques) produce the same moment about O and G.[/I]" [B][COLOR=#b30059]So what are these external moments and where they came from, and why they don't change? [/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000]EDIT: Oh, i see, probably it is all about force couples. They provide us with pure moment. Ok:) Though, would be nice to have somebody to confirm my guess.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
