From Mech
This article is about the analogue, from linear motion to angular motion, of: impulse
Definition
The angular impulse created by a (possibly time-varying) torque over a time period is dfefined as the integral of the torque over the time period. In other words, the angular impulse created by a torque from time
to time
is defined as the integral:
