Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Theoretical Mechanics, Vol. 3: Kinetics Let x be the distance, at the time t, of any particle P of mass m from some fixed plane, which, for the sake of simplicity, we may take at right angles to the direction of the velocity. Then the distance x of the centroid G of the system at the time t from the same plane is (part.
