Equations of Motion

For two-dimensional rotational motion, Newton's second law can be adapted to describe the relation between torque and angular acceleration:

,

where is the total torque exerted on the body, and is the mass moment of inertia of the body.

Famous quotes containing the word motion:

    “No motion has she now, no force;
    She neither hears nor sees;
    Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course,
    With rocks, and stones, and trees.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
