Abstract
In this chapter we introduce the concepts of rotational dynamics. Previously, we developed the first principles of linear dynamics; now we adapt the principles of linear dynamics to rotating bodies. The same laws apply, but their formulation is different. We will see, however, that Newton’s laws, momentum, energy, and power all have equations equivalent to their linear counterparts.
