Forward dynamics is the problem of finding the acceleration of a rigid-body system in response to given applied forces. It is used mainly for simulation; and it is sometimes called `direct dynamics', or simply `dynamics'. In this chapter and the next, we examine the forward dynamics of kinematic trees. The dynamics of closed-loop systems is covered in Chapter 8.
