d'Alembert's principle

n
(General Physics) physics the principle that for a moving body the external forces are in equilibrium with the inertial forces; a generalization of Newton's third law of motion
[C18: named after Jean Le Rond d'Alembert (1717–83), French mathematician, physicist, and rationalist philosopher]
