The torque tau on a body about a given point is found to be equal to AxxL where A is a constant vector, and L is the angular momentum of the body about that point. From this it follows that

The torque vec tau on a body about a given point is found to be equal to vec A xx vec L where vec A is a constant vector and vec L is the angular momentum of the body about the point. From this its follows that -

Torque (vec tau) acting on a rigid body is defined as vec tau = vec A xx vec L , where vec A is a constant vector and vec L is angular momentum of the body. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the body remains same. vec tau is perpendicular to vec L and hence torque does not deliver any power to the body.

If L is the angular momentum and tau is the torque then prove that ( tau = dL/dt)

Obtain tau=Ialpha from angular momentum of rigid body.

The angular velocity of a rigid body about any point of that body is same :
