Lecture

Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

Description

This lecture delves into the dynamics of rigid bodies, starting with the establishment of the equations governing the rotation of an undeformable solid. The instructor explains the derivation of the angular momentum and the temporal derivative of the moment of inertia, emphasizing the constancy of moments of inertia in undeformable solids. The lecture further explores the concept of precession and its applications in fields like medical imaging, specifically in MRI technology. The intricate equations of motion for rigid bodies in rotation are derived, highlighting the complex interplay between moments of inertia and angular velocities.
