When I derive the equations of motion for 2 or more bodies where one is rotating and the other is a mixture of rotation and translation, I get a term multiplying angular velocity squared. I know its right but I don't know what to call it. Can some help me with what to call it (it means C1*ω2 below)?After eliminating one of the constrained degrees of freedom, I get an ODE for the rotational degree of freedom:
sum of moments = Coefficient1*angularVelocity2+equavelentInertia*angularAcceleration
ΣM = C1*ω2 + Ieq*α
What's interesting about C1 is that it position dependent and it can flip signs. C1 has units of mass*length2 thus the units are consistent since ω has units of radians/sec.
