Study Notes
Rotational Dynamics - Study Notes

Q1. Rotational Kinematics and Moment of Inertia:
- A thin-walled hollow cylinder rolling down an incline has a rotational kinetic energy to translational kinetic energy ratio of 1:2.
- The radius of gyration of a uniform disc about a tangent in its plane is √12.5 times the radius of gyration about its central axis.
- Angular velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. If an object's blades are revolving anticlockwise and slowing, its angular velocity is downward, and its angular acceleration is upward.
-
Q1. Moment of Inertia:
- Moment of inertia (MI) is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational acceleration.
- Different objects have different expressions for their MI, depending on the axis of rotation.
- MI for a hollow right circular cone and a disc are different when rotating about their central axis.
- MI expression for a parallelepiped includes depth when rotating around transverse axes.
-
Q2. Circular Motion and Banking of Roads:
- The maximum safe speed for a vehicle on a curved horizontal road is derived concerning centripetal force, mass of vehicle, radius of curve and coefficient of friction.
- Banking of roads is necessary for two-wheelers to ensure that there is no slipping on turns.
- The same formula for the MI, when rotating about their central axes, of a uniform disc and a hollow right circular cone arises because their mass distributions are similar with respect to the axis of rotation.
-
Q3. Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy:
- The angular momentum of a rigid body is related to its angular velocity by a specific formula.
- Power of a ceiling fan can be calculated with its moment of inertia and maximum frequency.
- A metallic ring's moment of inertia changes when remoulded into a disc.
- Conservation of angular momentum asserts that in a closed, isolated system, angular momentum remains constant.
- Translational, rotational, and total kinetic energies of a rigid object rolling without slipping have a relationship.
-
Q4. Accelerated Motion and Inclined Planes:
- Expressions for acceleration and speed of a rigid object rolling down an inclined plane are derived.
- A race track's turning curve and vehicle speed define the bank angle required for safety.
- The possible shapes of an object rolling down an inclined plane while gaining speed can be determined according to acceleration and speed ratios.
