Using the Euler equations for two dimensional motion
The
basic equations for two-dimensional motion are the two scalar equations
obtained from writing Euler’s first law
plus one of the following three forms of Euler’s second law
1.
If
the body is pinned at O to an inertial frame then use the table and/or the
parallel axis theorem (
) to find 
and write:
2.
Or
you can always take moments about the center of
mass using the equation
3.
Or
you can always take moments about any arbitrary
point P using the equation
