I am going through a section in a textbook regarding the Newton Euler equations for a system of rigid bodies (robotics text). There is a particular line in the derivation I don't understand, I've attached the image to make it clear:

enter image description here

I think the derivative of the second term on the right-hand side of 3.28 is using the product rule to get to 3.32, but I don't understand where the cross-product comes from. Could someone explain this particular part of the derivation? Thanks.

It is worth it for you reading about differentiating vectors on rotating frames.

Appendix

In addition, to prove equation (3.28) follow this answer https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/65768/392 or https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/105099/392

You just have to use the corresponding equations from Newton's law for rotating objects. So simply:

  1. Product rule
  2. dz/dt=ω×z
