Theory and numerical examples on Rotational Motion

Description
Interesting examples on angular momentum includes the calculation of the new angular velocity when the length of a string , whirling a stone is reduced. Expressions for work and energy of a rotating body is derived and applied to a rotating rod.Angular impulse, generalized idea of fixed axis rotation, rolling cylinders and spheres, condition for pure rolling are the other topics explained here.
