8 Write Torque as the Cross Product Let s look at a door top view: r F sin F Axis of rotation Applied force F produces torque Now, with vector product notation we can rewrite torque as rf rf sin r F Torque direction out of page (right hand rule) Notation convention: Direction out of the page Direction into the page

9 Angular Momentum Angular momentum is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum p mv L?

10 z Angular Momentum of a single particle y O r m L r p p L r p i i x Suppose we have a particle with -linear momentum -positioned at r Then, by definition: Angular momentum of a particle about point O is L r m v If we have many particles, the total angular momentum is L L L 1 L2 L3... p

11 Angular Momentum of a single particle. Example What is the angular momentum of a particle of mass m moving with speed v in a circle of radius r in a counterclockwise direction? By definition: Angular momentum of a particle about point O is L r p L r p Let s rewrite this result slightly. v r L L Recall: L rmv mr( r) L p r θ=90 rpsin rmv 2 ( mr ) where 2 I mr L I It looks like we can get a different expression for L Next

12 Angular Momentum of a rigid body For the rotation of a symmetrical object about the symmetry axis, the angular momentum and the angular velocity are related by (without a proof) L I L I I moment of inertia of a body L points towards L I L I

19 Conservation of Angular Momentum Angular momentum is an important concept because, under certain conditions, it is conserved. dl If the net external torque on an object is zero, then the total angular momentum is conserved. If net net dl 0, then L const 0 L I L 1 L For a rigid body 2 I 1 1 I 2 2
