Description |
---|---|---|
mass |
in number |
The mass of the segment |
endPointA |
in physics.Vect |
The point defining one end of the segment |
endPointB |
in physics.Vect |
The point defining the other end of the segment |
inertia |
out number |
The inertia of the segment |
This
routine computes the moment of inertia for a segment.
The end points can be in either
world or local coordinates. This is a useful
helper routine for computing the moment of inertia as an input to the physics.Body(...) constructor.
