Study Notes
Rigid Bodies, Translation, and Rotation
- A rigid body is an object where the distance between particles remains constant.
- Translational motion is when every particle in a rigid body has the same velocity.
- Rotational motion is when a rigid body moves around a fixed axis.
- Rigid body motion is a combination of translational and rotational motion.
Torque and Equilibrium
- Torque is the rotational equivalent of force.
- Torque is calculated with the formula τ = rFsinϕ, where τ is torque, F is force, r is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied, and ϕ is the angle between the force and the lever arm.
- The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of a force is called the moment arm (or lever arm).
- Torque is positive if it rotates the body counterclockwise, and negative if it rotates the body clockwise.
- Equilibrium is a state of balance.
- Translational Equilibrium occurs when the sum of forces on a body is zero.
- Rotational Equilibrium occurs when the sum of torques on a body is zero.
- Mechanical Equilibrium is achieved when both translational and rotational equilibrium are present.
- Static Equilibrium occurs when a body is at rest and in both translational and rotational equilibrium.
Stability and Center of Gravity
- The center of Gravity (CG) is the average position of weight for an object.
- The center of Mass (CM) is the average position of all particles of mass in an object.
- For symmetrical objects, the CG is at the geometric center.
- For irregular objects, the CG is at the heavier end.
- For objects with varying densities, the CG is at the heaviest part.
- If the CG of an object is above the area of support, the object will remain upright.
- If the CG extends outside the area of support, the object will topple.
- Unstable equilibrium occurs when any movement lowers the CG.
- Stable equilibrium occurs when any movement raises the CG,
- Neutral equilibrium occurs when movement does not cause a change in CG.
Rotational Dynamics
- Rotational inertia (I) is the resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion, also called the Moment of Inertia.
- I = Σmr2 (where I is the Moment of Inertia, m is mass, and r is the distance from the axis of rotation).
- Rotational acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity.
- The relationship between torque, moment of inertia, and rotational acceleration is given by the equation: τ = Iα.
- Rotational work (W) is done when a torque acts through an angle.
- Rotational work can be calculated using the equation: W = τθ.
- Rotational kinetic energy is the energy of rotational motion.
- Rotational kinetic energy can be calculated using the equation: K = ½ Iω2.
- Rotational Power (P) is the rate at which rotational work is done.
- Rotational power can be calculated using the equation: P = τω.
Angular Momentum
- Angular Momentum (L) is a measure of the rotational inertia of a body.
- It is calculated using the equation: L = Iω (where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity).
- The direction of angular momentum is determined using the right-hand rule.
- The net torque on a rotating rigid body is equal to the time rate of change of angular momentum: τ = ΔL/Δt.
- The Conservation of Angular Momentum states that if the net external torque on a system is zero, the total angular momentum of the system remains constant.
- The conservation of angular momentum explains phenomena like the increased spin of a figure skater when they pull their arms in, and the rotation of a spinning top.
