Question:

Show that, when a rigid slab rotates about a fixed axis through O perpendicular to the slab, the system of the moment a of its particles is equivalent to a single vector of magnitude mrω, perpendicular to the line OG, and applied to a point P on this line, called the center of percussion, at a distance GP = k2/r from the mass center of the slab.
