Recall 2: Linear Momentum of A Particle VS of A Continuum Body
Particle
Continuum Body
Conceptually, linear momentum is linear momentum.
Dimensionally, it must be
Hence, it is not much different from that of a particle; it is still
The difference is that different parts of a continuum body may have different velocity.
The question simply becomes how we are going to sum all the parts to get the total.

Control volume and frame of reference are two different things.
They need not have the same motion.
Motion of The Frames
IFR = Inertial frame of reference. Observer A in IFR uses unprimed coordinates
MFR = Moving frame of reference. This frame is moving relative to IFR.
Observer B in MFR uses primed coordinates .
Motion of CV
In general, CV can be moving and deforming relative to both frames.
Example: A balloon jet (CV) launched in an airplane appears moving and
deforming to both observer B in the airplane (MFR) and observer A on
the ground (IFR).

Recall: Past Example of RTT for Linear MomentumExample 3: Finding The Time Rate of Change of Property N of an MV By The Use of A Coincident CV and The RTTProblem: Given that the velocity field is steady and the flow is incompressible
1. state whether or not the time rate of change of the linear momenta Px and Py of the material
volume MV(t) that instantaneously coincides with the stationary and non-deforming
control volume CV shown below vanishes;
2. if not, state also
- whether they are positive or negative, and
- whether there should be the corresponding net force (Fx and Fy ) acting on the
MV/CV, and
- whether the corresponding net force is positive or negative.
