Abstract
The importance and difficulty of this problem requires a separate section in order to treat it fully. At the outset, the most general formulas will be given and at the same time the simplest approach to representing the motion of rotation of a body or a system of bodies about a point will be developed. Then from these formulas using the methods of Section IV, the equations necessary to determine the motion of rotation of a system of bodies acted upon by arbitrary forces will be deduced. Finally, various applications of these equations will be presented.
