What is axial rigid body motion? Is it along Z-axis?
Axial rigid body motion refers to the rotation of a body around a specific axis, commonly the Z-axis. In this context, torque is applied along the Z-axis, while the force acts within the XY-plane. This distinction is crucial for understanding the dynamics of rigid body motion in three-dimensional space. The discussion clarifies that the term "axial rigid body motion" specifically pertains to the orientation and application of forces and torques in relation to the axes of rotation.
