Lecture

Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

Description

This lecture covers the introduction to cylindrical coordinates, calculation of velocity and acceleration in cylindrical coordinates, forces in rigid bodies, and the projection of forces in different directions. The instructor explains the general formula for acceleration components, constraints, and the projection of forces using Newton's second law. The lecture also includes examples related to rigid panels and pendulum motion, emphasizing the importance of understanding constraints and forces in dynamic systems. The concepts of small angles approximation and conservation laws are introduced, leading to the resolution of differential equations for pendulum motion. The lecture concludes with a practical example involving synchronized pendulums and the analysis of forces in rotating systems.
