    Study Notes

    Torque and Moment of Inertia

    • Equilibrium occurs when the sum of concurrent forces acting on a body is zero.
    • A body at rest or constant motion is in equilibrium.
    • Statics studies forces on stationary bodies.
    • The center of gravity is the point where the weight of an object is concentrated.
    • Torque is the turning effect of a rigid body.
    • Torque is calculated as the product of perpendicular force and lever arm length (T = F * l).
    • Clockwise torque is negative, counterclockwise is positive.
    • The lever arm is the distance from the pivot to the force application point.
    • Moment of inertia (I) resists changes in rotational motion.
    • Moment of inertia is calculated as I = mr2 (where m is mass and r is radius from axis of rotation).

    Static Equilibrium

    • Static equilibrium occurs when the sum of all concurrent forces acting on a body is zero (ΣF = 0).
    • The sum of all torques acting on a body is also zero (Στ = 0).
    • Rotational motion is the motion of a body about an internal axis.
    • Examples include spinning tops, bicycle wheels, and Earth's movement.
    • Circular motion occurs when the axis of motion is outside the object, like orbiting satellites.
