Euler's Equations of Motion for Rotation of Rigid Body: Also known as

Euler's Equations of Motion for Rotation of Rigid Body can also be seen presented in the form:

\(\ds I_1 \dfrac {\partial \omega_1} {\partial t} - \paren {I_2 - I_3} \omega_2 \omega_3\) \(=\) \(\ds M_1\)
\(\ds I_2 \dfrac {\partial \omega_2} {\partial t} - \paren {I_3 - I_1} \omega_3 \omega_1\) \(=\) \(\ds M_2\)
\(\ds I_3 \dfrac {\partial \omega_3} {\partial t} - \paren {I_1 - I_2} \omega_1 \omega_2\) \(=\) \(\ds M_3\)

where:

$I_1$, $I_2$ and $I_1$ are the components of the torque applied about the principal axes
$I_1$, $I_2$ and $I_1$ are the moments of inertia at fixed point $O$
$\omega_1$, $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ are the components of angular velocity along the principal axis.
