This article deals with a dynamic system whose motion is constrained by nonholonomic, reonomic, affine constraints. The article analyses the geometrical properties of the “reactions" of nonholonomic constraints in Voronets’s equations of motion. The analysis shows their link with the torsion of the Ehresmann connection, which is defined by the nonholonomic constraints.
