[NOTES/CM-09001] Degrees of Freedom of a Rigid Body

By considering possible motions of a rigid body with one, two or three points fixed, we show that a rigid body has six degrees of freedom.

[NOTES/CM-09005] Heavy Symmetrical Top with One Point Fixed

We set up Lagrangian for a heavy symmetrical top and show that the solution can be reduced to quadratures.

[NOTES/CM-09004] Kinetic Energy of Rigid Body

An expression for the kinetic energy in terms of the moment of inertia tensor and the angular velocity w.r.t the body frame of reference is obtained. It is shown that \begin{equation}
\text{KE}=\sum_{ij} \omega_{bi} I_{ij}^{(b)} \omega_{ij}
\end{equation}

[NOTES/CM-08005] Finite Rotations of Vectors about an Arbitrary Axis

Using geometrical arguments, we will derive the result \begin{equation}\vec{A}^\prime = \vec{A} - (\hat{n}\times\vec{A})\, \sin\alpha + \hat{n}\times (\hat{n}\times\vec{A})\, (1-\cos\alpha ) \end{equation}between components of vectors related by a rotation by and angle \(\theta\) about an axis \(\hat n\).
