Possibly that's a duplicate.
Say we have two drums A and B in a zero gravity with moments of inertia Ja and Jb respectively, placed on a same axis, running through their centers of mass. Drum A contains a motor, which applies torque T to drum B. How ˙ωa and ˙ωb are related to T? I understand that
Jaωa+Jbωb=0 (conservation of angular momentum)
and
Ja˙ωa+Jb˙ωb=0 (Newton's second and third laws).
but what about Ja˙ωa−Jb˙ωb ? Does it equal to T or 2T or what? How T is distributed over these two drums?
