We shall have numerous occasions to make use of this very important equation.<br />

5.4 Linear Momentum Principle, Equations of Motion<br />

Let a material continuum body having a current volume V and bounding<br />

surface S be subjected to surface traction t<br />

( ˆn ) and distributed body <strong>for</strong>ces<br />

i<br />

ρbi as shown in Figure 5.1. In addition, let the body be in motion under the<br />

velocity field vi = vi(x,t). The linear momentum of the body is defined by the<br />

vector<br />

Pt ()= ρvdV<br />

and the principle of linear momentum states that the time rate of change of the<br />

linear momentum is equal to the resultant <strong>for</strong>ce acting on the body. There<strong>for</strong>e,<br />
