Equation 4/1 may be expressed in component
form using x-y-z coordinates or whatever
coordinate system is most convenient for the
problem at hand. Thus,

• Figure 4/4 represents the
resultants of the external
forces acting on the
system expressed in terms
of the resultant force ΣF
through G and the
corresponding couple
ΣMG.
• We see that the sum of the
moments about P of all
forces external to the
system must equal the
moment of their resultants.

• The blades of a helicopter
impart downward
momentum to a column of
air, thereby creating the
forces necessary for
hovering and
manoeuvring.

Angular Momentum in Steady-Flow
System
• A similar formulation is obtained for the case of
angular momentum in steady-flow systems. The
resultant moment of all external forces about
some fixed point O on or off the system, Fig.
4/5a, equals the time rate of change of angular
momentum of the system about O. This fact
was established in Eq. 4/7 which, for the case of
steady flow in a single plane, becomes

The Super Scooper is a
firefighting airplane which
can quickly ingest water from
a lake by skimming across
the surface with just a
bottom-mounted scoop
entering water.

Application to Rocket Pulsation
• The case of m losing mass is
clearly descriptive of rocket
propulsion.
• Figure 4/7a shows a vertically
ascending rocket, the system for
which is the mass within the
volume defined by the exterior
surface of the rocket and the exit
plane across the nozzle.
• External to this system, the
freebody diagram discloses the
instantaneous values of
gravitational attraction mg,
aerodynamic resistance R, and
the force pA due to the average
static pressure p across the
nozzle exit plane of area A.
