System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
