The method of nonholonomic mapping is utilized to construct a Riemann-Cartan space embedded into a known Riemann-Cartan space,which includes two special cases that a Weitzenbck space and a Riemann-Cartan space are respectively embedded into a Euclidean space and a Riemann space.By means of this mapping theory,the nonholonomic corresponding relation between the autoparallels of two Riemman-Cartan spaces is investigated.In particular,an autoparallel in a Riemann-Cartan space can be mapped into a geodesic line in a Riemann space and an autoparallel in Weitzenbck space be mapped into a geodesic line in Euclidean space.Based on the Lagrange-d'Alembert principle,the equations of motion for dynamical systems in Riemman-Cartan space should be autoparallel equations of the space.As applications,the problem of autoparallel motion of spinless particles,Chaplygin's nonholonomic systems and a rigid body rotating with a fixed point are investigated in space with torsion.
