    Study Notes

    Inertia

    • A body cannot change its state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line. This property is called inertia.
    • Inertia has no unit and no dimension.
    • Inertia of rest: Inability to change state of rest by itself.
    • Inertia of motion: Inability of a body to change its state of uniform motion by itself.
    • Inertia of direction: Inability of a body to change direction of motion by itself.

    Newton's Third Law

    • To every action, there is always an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) reaction.
    • Forces in nature always occur in pairs.
    • A single isolated force is not possible.
    • Action and reaction never act on the same body.

    Inclined Forces

    • If Fsine > Mg, the block accelerates horizontally.
    • If Fsine < Mg, the block remains in contact with the ground.
    • If Fsine = Mg, the block just leaves contact with the ground and begins to accelerate obliquely.

    Motion of Connected Bodies

    • Pulley-block system with M₁ > M₂
    • Ideal pulley: Tension (T) is the same everywhere.
    • Equation for acceleration (a) in a pulley system with M₁ and M₂: a = (M₁ - M₂)/ (M₁ + M₂) g.
    • Equations for tension (T): T = 2M₁M₂g/(M₁ + M₂).

    Lift Problems

    • Apparent weight of body in a lift
    • Reaction force exerted by a weighing machine, readings.
    • Cases of lift at rest, moving with constant velocity, accelerating upward(a), accelerating downward (a).

    Liquid Jets

    • Jet stopped at wall, v=0, Fwall = pAu²
    • When jet bounces back, F = -2 pAu². -ve
    • Oblique jet, Fwall = 2pAu²cosθ, +ve

    Motion of Blocks Connected by Massless String

    • Tension is same everywhere and is a restoring force for elongation.
    • Tension acts away from the object.
    • Tension will be different at different points, when the rope is thick.

    Laws of Motion

    • Impulse = Change in momentum. I = P - P or I = ∫F dt
    • Impulsive force: Large force acting for a short time.
    • Average impulsive force: Impulse/Time.

    Relative Slipping

    • Minimum force needed to push an incline such that a mass does not slip.
    • Conditions for slipping to not occur
    • Minimum acceleration of one mass (M) to prevent another mass (m) from slipping relative to it.

    Angle of Friction

    • Angle (θ) between resultant force (R) and normal (N) when an object is on an incline or other surface.
    • Related to coefficient of friction (μ).

    Friction

    • Static friction: Self-adjusting force, opposes motion but not necessarily equal to the applied force.
    • Kinetic friction: Opposes motion when surfaces are slipping over each other.
    • Angle of repose: Angle of incline at which a block is about to slip.
    • Normal reaction (N): Force perpendicular to the surface.

    Equilibrium & Lami's Theorem

    • Parallelogram law for forces in equilibrium. Forces acting at a point in equilibrium can be represented by vectors that form closed triangle, when drawn tip-to-tail.

    Impulse

    • Impulse = Change in momentum.
    • Impulse is calculated as integral of an applied force over a time interval.
    • It is a vector quantity.

    Frame of Reference & Pseudo Force

    • Inertial frame: Rest or constant velocity.
    • Non-inertial frame: Accelerated frame.
    • Pseudo force = -ma.
