... • As discussed in Chapter 16, when a body is subjected to general plane motion, it undergoes a combination of translation and rotation. • First, a coordinate system with its origin at an arbitrary point P is established. The x-y axes should not rotate and can either be fixed or translate with consta ...

... Since the expression (42K) is a constant, the force of gravitational attraction on a planet is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the sun. We saw in the previous lesson that Kepler’s constant is the same for any object circl ...
