APPLICATIONS
The concepts of rigid body or particle dynamics are used in engineering when motion is involved. This can be motion of a fluid element, a controller such as a flap or landing gear mechanism, and trajectories of vehicles.
It is important that the principles of dynamics and moving bodies are well understood by engineers. A major application of these principles can be found in control theory where motion of a vehicle affects points on the vehicle in different ways.
