The 27 pages that link to Rigid body, each with the reason it gives.

• Center of massRelated: For a rigid body, the center of mass stays fixed relative to its material points.

• TorqueRelated: Torque about an axis is commonly analyzed for bodies treated as rigid.

• Classical mechanicsBroader topic: Rigid-body mechanics applies the general laws to translation and rotation together.

• Moment of inertiaRelated: Rigid-body assumptions allow its mass distribution to be treated as fixed during rotation.

• KinematicsRelated: Its motion combines translation and rotation, extending point-particle descriptions.

• Free-body diagramRelated: Rigid-body diagrams can include both forces and couples acting on an extended object.

• Generalized coordinatesRelated: Its configuration is often specified by position and orientation coordinates.

• Axis of rotationNarrower topic: A fixed axis gives a simple description of a rigid body's rotation.

• Rigid body dynamicsBroader topic: This idealization defines the model whose motion the field analyzes.

• Static equilibriumRelated: Rigid-body equilibrium accounts for both translation and rotation.

• Euler anglesNarrower topic: Euler angles describe the orientation of such an object's body frame.

• StaticsRelated: Many statics problems treat objects as rigid to focus on overall force and moment balance.

• Rotational motionRelated: Rigid-body rotation treats the object's parts as turning together.

• Mechanical equilibriumRelated: Its equilibrium includes both translation and rotation of the whole body.

• Constraint (mechanics)Related: Fixed distances between its points are holonomic constraints.

• FulcrumNarrower topic: Lever analysis treats the bar as rigid while it rotates about the fulcrum.

• OrientationRelated: A rigid body's orientation can be described by how its fixed body axes align with a frame.

• Rigid motionRelated: Its possible configurations differ by rigid motions.

• Euler's rotation theoremNarrower topic: The theorem describes the net orientation change of such an object around a fixed point.

• Four-bar linkageNarrower topic: The standard linkage model treats each bar as a rigid body.

• Kinematic pairRelated: Machine links are commonly modeled as rigid bodies joined by kinematic pairs.

• Multibody systemBroader topic: Rigid-body models treat each component as undeformable while allowing translation and rotation.

• Physical objectBroader topic: This model simplifies an object's motion by ignoring deformation.

• Sofya KovalevskayaNarrower topic: Her best-known mechanics result concerns the rotation of a rigid body around a fixed point.

• Ladder paradoxCompared with: The paradox does not require the ladder to be physically crushed or rigidly compressed.

• Newtonian dynamicsRelated: Newtonian dynamics extends from particle trajectories to translation and rotation of extended bodies.

• Tennis racket theoremNarrower topic: The theorem models a freely rotating object as rigid, excluding deformation and external forces.
