Kinematics of Masses
摘要
With a system of masses in motion one associates scalar and vector quantities used to formulate the equations of motion starting from the Cardinal Principles of Mechanics. The topic of this chapter is also known as kinematics of masses precisely because it is here where the fundamental ideas of Kinematics converge, in particular those of rigid-body kinematics, and those related to masses, centers of gravity and inertia moments.
