The Theorem 11.2.7 may be thus stated for a continuous mechanical system
S too,
while the theorem of moment of momentum maintains its form (11.2.18), (11.2.18'),

If, in particular, the frame

=KK too) or the
pole of the frame
R coincides with the mass centre (OC≡ , hence = 0
), then one
obtains again the formulae (11.2.19–11.2.21'); we remark, especially, the frames and
the formulae of Koenig type. Finally, if both conditions mentioned above hold
simultaneously, then the frame
R is a Koenig frame and Koenig’s theorems hold too.

) Principle of variation of moment of momentum with respect to the centre
of mass.
The derivative with respect to time, in a Koenig frame of reference, of the
moment of momentum of any subsystem
S ⊂ S , in any configuration of it, with
respect to the mass centre, is equal to the moment of the forces which act upon that
subsystem, with respect to the same pole.
For the continuous mechanical system
S it results a formula of the form (11.2.24''),
so that we can state (second theorem of Koenig for the moment of momentum)
Theorem 12.1.10 (theorem of moment of momentum with respect to the centre of
mass). The derivative with respect to time, in a Koenig frame of reference, of the
moment of momentum of a continuous mechanical system subjected to constraints, with
respect to the centre of mass, is equal to the moment of the given and constraint
external forces, with respect to the same pole.
The theorem of momentum in the form (11.2.15) corresponds to the motion of the
centre of mass, while the theorem of moment of momentum in the form (11.2.24'')
describes the rotation of the continuous mechanical system about the centre of mass, the
privileged rôle of which is thus put in evidence.
As in Sect. 11.2.2.1, we can prove a formula of the form (11.2.23'); the Theorem
11.2.9 of C. Iacob can be thus stated for a continuous mechanical system too. As well,
