 ===== 3. Newton's Laws =====
-In [[book:chap2:forcestorques|Chapter 2]] we explored how several forces that act on a body can be subsumed into a net total force and torque. The body stays in rest, say at position $\vec q_0$, when the net force and torque vanish. Now we explore how the forces induce motion
