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
Elements of the Philosophy of Newton mutual Action of Bodies upon Light. Of the Resemblance between the seven Primitive Colours and the seven Notes in Musick. Introductory Ideas concerning Gravity and the Laws of Attraction: That the Opinion of a subtil Matter, Vortices, and a Plenitude, ought to be rejected (But not that subtile Aether which Sir Isaac makes the Cause of Attraction, Refraction, Animal Motion, &c. which pervades the Universe). That the Vortices and Plenitude of Descartes are impossible, and consequently that there is some other Cause of Gravity. What is meant by Vacuity and Space, without which there could be neither Gravity nor Motion.
