LinearMomentum — Extraction of linear momentum of rigid body relative to observer [maple]

LinearMomentum(A,B)

A: name of defined observer B: name of defined point

The function LinearMomentum returns the linear momentum of a rigid body with reference point B relative to the observer A.

The linear momentum is expressed using the symbol M for the total mass of the body.

Remember to invoke DeclareStates prior to using LinearMomentum.
