Euler’s equation for rigid bodies∗

Let 1 be an inertial frame body (a rigid body) and 2 a rigid body in motion
respect to an observer located at 1. Let Q be an arbitrary point (fixed or in
motion) and C the center of mass of 2. Then,
MQ = IQ α21 + ω 21 × (IQ ω 21 ) + mQC × aQ2
1 ,
(1)
where m is the mass of the rigid body, QC the position vector of C respect to
Q, MQ is the moment of forces system respect to Q, IQ the tensor of inertia
respect to orthogonal axes embedded in 2 and origin at Q2 1 , and aQ2
1 , ω 21 ,
α21 , are the acceleration of Q2, the angular velocity and acceleration vectors
respectively, all of them measured by an observer located at 1.
This equation was got by Euler by using a fixed system of principal axes with
origin at C2. In that case we have Q = C, and therefore
MC = IC α21 + ω 21 × (IC ω 21 ).
(2)
Euler used three independent scalar equations to represent (2). It is well known
that the number of degrees of freedom associate to a rigid body in free motion
in R3 are six, just equal the number of independent scalar equations necessary
to solve such a motion. (Newton’s law contributing with three)
Its is clear if 2 is at rest or in uniform and rectilinear translation, then MQ = 0,
one of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the equilibrium of the system
of forces applied to a rigid body. (The other one is the force resultant F = 0)
