Rigid body possible to reconstruct the position of all the other particles, provided that their time-invariant position relative to the three selected particles is known. However, typically a different, mathematically more convenient, but equivalent approach is used. The position of the whole body is represented by: Thus, the position of a rigid body has two components: linear and angular, respectively. The same is true for other kinematic and kinetic quantities describing the motion of a rigid body, such as linear and angular velocity, acceleration, momentum, impulse, and kinetic energy. The linear position can be represented by a vector with its tail at
Landscape of the Body it to us. It informs our understanding of the playwright we know best in terms of his masterpieces, 'Six Degrees of Separation' and 'House of Blue Leaves'. But 'Landscape of the Body' deserves better than it gets here." Landscape of the Body Landscape of the Body is a two-act play by John Guare, first performed in 1977. The play is episodic and non-linear, as it travels back and forth in time. The plot centers on a woman named Betty, whose son, Bert, was recently murdered and decapitated in lower Manhattan. The location of the first and last scenes are the
