Question:
How can we define the motion of a rigid body?
Motion of rigid bodies
Rigid bodies are solid bodies with deformations are very small that they can be neglected even in the presence of external forces. The dynamics of rigid bodies are described by the laws of kinematics together with the application of Newton's second law.
