The most general motion of a rigid body can be described by the combination of the translational motion of its center of mass and the rotational motion of all points of the body about an axis through the center of mass. In this chapter, we apply kinematics, dynamics, and conservation laws to investigate rolling motion, which is a special case of this most general motion. This chapter represents the culmination of all the topics we cover in the first six chapters of this book.
