Rigid body
In
physics, a rigid body is an idealization of a solid body of finite size in which
deformation is neglected. In other words, the
distance between any two given points of a rigid body remains constant regardless of external forces exerted on it.
The configuration space of a rigid body with one point fixed is given by the underlying
manifold of the rotation group SO.
