It is well known that the existence of two nontrivial integrals of the
motion makes it possible to parametrize the motion of a Lagrangian ri
gid body by two variables. On the basis of this fact it is strewn that
certain combinations of the quantities that characterize the trajecto
ry of such a body satisfy well-known nonlinear equations: sine-Gordon,
Korteweg-de Vries, Klein-Gordon, and nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
