This lecture covers the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, focusing on the Haltère system pulled by a wire and the Yoyo system. The instructor explains the forces, accelerations, and equations of motion for both systems, emphasizing the concepts of static friction and moment of inertia. Various scenarios are analyzed, such as the movement of the Haltère without slipping and the rotation of the Yoyo. The lecture concludes with a detailed discussion on the equilibrium conditions and the calculation of the moment of inertia for different body configurations.
