Equimomental Tetrads of a Rigid Body
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2008
Extract
A lamina of mass m can be replaced by an equimomental system of three equal particles m placed at the vertices of a maximum inscribed triangle of a momental ellipse for the centre of mass. Similarly any rigid body can be replaced by an equimomental system of four equal particles (cf. Routh, Elementary Rigid Dynamics, 7th ed. (1905), Art. 44 and Note, p. 423).
