Equations of Rigid Body Rotational and Translational Dynamics
Equation of Translational Dynamics
where P is the point from which observation is being made, M is the mass of the entire system, a is acceleration and CM is the centre of mass of system
Equation of Rotational Dynamics
Derivation of these equations can be found in Spacecraft Dynamics and Control An Introduction by Ruiter, Forbes, Damaren
