Rigid Body: An idealized solid object in which the distance between any two points remains constant regardless of external forces or moments. It does not deform under load, simplifying the analysis of rotational motion.
Rotation About a Fixed Axis: The motion of a rigid body constrained to rotate around a single, immovable axis. The body's angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration are described relative to this axis, with the axis remaining stationary.
Torque (Moment of Torsion): The measure of the tendency of a force to cause an object to rotate about an axis. It is calculated as the cross product of the position vector and the force vector, with the magnitude given by τ = r × F. (Source: "DINÁMICA DEL CUERPO RÍGIDO Rev. 2020")
Free Body Diagram for Rotational Forces: A simplified representation showing all external forces and moments acting on a rigid body, including torques, to analyze rotational equilibrium or motion.

Rigid body — definition?
An idealized solid with fixed inter-point distances.
Rigid Body — definition?
An undeformable solid object with constant distance between points.
Torque — role?
Causes rotation by producing angular acceleration.
Torque — role?
Causes angular acceleration in a rotating body.
Equation of rotational motion?
τ = Iα, torque equals moment of inertia times angular acceleration.
Friction — effect on rotation?
Resists motion and causes damping.
