Systems with Zero Torque

A Mathematical Model

It follows from the angular momentum principle, LAf = LAi + rnet*deltat that for systems with zero torque, LAf = LAi.

Examples

Simple: Law of the Lever

Archimedes law of the lever represents one of the earliest known allusion to an underlying physical mechanism that is now described analytically as torque. Starting with the angular momentum principle, rederive the Law of the Lever shown below.
