Euler's laws of motion balance of angular momentum or balance of torques) states that in an inertial frame the time rate of change of angular momentum of an arbitrary portion of a continuous body is equal to the total applied torque acting on that portion, and it is expressed as Where formula_11 is the velocity, formula_12 the volume, and the derivatives of and are material derivatives. Euler's laws of motion In classical mechanics, Euler's laws of motion are equations of motion which extend Newton's laws of motion for point particle to rigid body motion. They were formulated by Leonhard Euler about 50 years after
Gravity anomaly Gravity anomaly A gravity anomaly is the difference between the observed acceleration of free fall, or gravity, on a planet's surface, and the corresponding value predicted from a model of the planet's gravity field. Typically the model is based on simplifying assumptions, such as that, under its self-gravitation and rotational motion, the planet assumes the figure of an ellipsoid of revolution. Gravity on the surface of this ellipsoid is then given by a simple formula which only contains the latitude, and subtraction from observed gravity in the same location will yield the gravity anomaly. Anomaly values are typically much smaller
