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.
Restart; DeclareObservers[A]; DeclarePoints[A,B]; DeclareTriads[a]; DefineObservers[{A,A,a}]; DefinePoints[{A,B,a,q1,q1+q2,q3}]; DeclareStates[q1,q2,q3]; LinearMomentum[A,B]
