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
Kepler's laws of planetary motion Kepler's laws of planetary motion In astronomy, Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun. Most planetary orbits are nearly circular, and careful observation and calculation are required in order to establish that they are not perfectly circular. Calculations of the orbit of Mars, whose published values are somewhat suspect, indicated an elliptical orbit. From this, Johannes Kepler inferred that other bodies in the Solar System, including those farther away from the Sun, also have elliptical orbits. Kepler's work (published between 1609 and 1619) improved the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus,
