• o and o are the initial values of the body’s angular position
and angular velocity. Note these equations are very similar to
the constant acceleration relations developed for the
rectilinear motion of a particle.
ROTATION ABOUT A FIXED AXIS
• All points on the body rotates in concentric circle
about a fixed axis.
