Rigid body mechanics is a branch of classical mechanics that deals with the motion and behavior of rigid bodies. A rigid body is an idealized solid object that does not deform under the action of forces; the distances between any two points in the body remain constant regardless of external forces or moments applied to it. The main aspects of rigid body mechanics include: 1. **Kinematics**: The study of the motion of rigid bodies without considering the forces that cause the motion.
