I'm studying rigid body motion on Landau but I'm having troubles to understand this proof of the fact that the angular velocity →Ω is constant for a rigid body.
My doubt is about the two last equations in the last two lines of the text. If I use the two I get
→V′=→V+(→Ω−→Ω′)×→r′+→Ω×→a
How are (31.3) derived from this?
Answer
You have
v=V′+Ω′×r′
and
v=V+Ω×(r′+a)
You collect the r′ terms
v=V′+Ω′×r′=(V+Ω×a)+(Ω×r′)
which is solved uniquely when
Ω′=ΩV′=V+Ω×a
