AngularAcceleration()

void EGXPhys::AngularAcceleration ( const glm::vec3 &  torqueInNm, const glm::mat3 &  inertiaTensorInkgmsquared, glm::vec3 &  angularAccelerationInradPersSquared  )

inline

Calculates the angular acceleration, \(\alpha\), in radians per second squared. Angular acceleration of an object is calculated from the torque, \(\tau\), applied to an object and the object's inertia tensor, \(I\):

\[\alpha=I^{-1} \tau \]
