Hi best regard to all

This is my first post so forgive me in any mistakes.

If some one can explain to me those parts marked in red rectangles? It taught it was more convenient to post picture than typing. It's from a book that is not in English so I cut out parts with words. Many thanks to who ever have time to help me.

For the first red box, you need to use the expression from the previous line.
For the second red box, its simply a vector identity that is true for any general vector.
 


Hi CICCI_2011! Welcome to PF! :smile:

What you're looking at, are polar coordinates with local unit vectors.

If you have a body at a certain point, you can define a local cartesian coordinate system at that point.
One axis is in the direction of the point, the other axis is in the direction of the angle.
One of the corresponding unit vectors is named \vec\rho_0 in your text.
(Actually I'm used to naming it \hat r.)

When time passes, this point rotates with the angular velocity.
So a little time dt later, \vec\rho_0 will point in a different direction.
The vector change is \vec\omega \times \vec\rho_0 dt.

There's for instance a wiki reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in_cylindrical_and_spherical_coordinates
 


Thank you all very much for your response I really appreciate that.

I think I understand know.For first box This stands dP/dt=ω×P because P is rotating due to ω then dP/dt is perpendicular to ω and P so we can write dP/dt=ω×P.

For second box its vector identity like you wrote. Is it "Scalar product" (ω·P) and (ω·ω):

ω×(ω×P)=ω(ω·P)-P·(ω·ω)=ω|ω|·|P |cosα-P|ω|·|ω |cosα=
=ω·ω·P cosα-ω²·P=...

|ω|·|P |cosα=ω·P cosα

and

|ω|·|ω |cosα=ω·ω·1=ω² where angle between ω,ω is 0º cosα=cos0º=1

If not then what is it?

Sorry for this kind of typing but I can't change even color don know why.

You all helped a lot.
 


Yes. That looks right! :smile:
 


Thanks for your help and time, It's all clear now.

Best regards
 
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
