Collision of irregular bodies :
Hi,
When two bodies of smooth surface but irregular shape collide
what is the line along which the action reaction pair acts?
If there is no friction - I would expect that the forces would act at
the 'point' of contact and perpendicular to the osculatory (sp?)
plane.
