5 Introduction What the book includes This book provides questions and answers for each dot point in the IB Physics Option: Engineering Physics syllabus from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for Physics: Rigid Bodies and Rotational Dynamics Thermodynamics Fluids and Fluid Dynamics Forced Vibrations and Resonance Format of the book The book has been formatted in the following way: 1.1 Subtopic from syllabus Assessment statement from syllabus First question for this assessment statement Second question for this assessment statement. The number of lines provided for each answer gives an indication of how many marks the question might be worth in an examination. As a rough rule, every two lines of answer might be worth 1 mark. How to use the book Completing all questions will provide you with a summary of all the work you need to know from the syllabus. You may have done work in addition to this with your teacher as extension work. Obviously this is not covered, but you may need to know this additional work for your school exams. When working through the questions, write the answers you have to look up in a different colour to those you know without having to research the work. This will provide you with a quick reference for work needing further revision. v Introduction

15 Rigid Bodies and Rotational Dynamics B B.1.1. Torque is the ability of a force to cause rotation of an object about an axis or a pivot. A force causes a push or a pull while a torque causes rotation of an object. B Torque, τ = F d. It is measured in N m. B The magnitude of the applied force, the angle at which the applied force is applied to the body and the distance of the point of application to the pivot point. B τ = F d = Fd sin θ in each of the following cases. Clockwise torque is negative and anticlockwise is positive. τ = = 8 N m τ = = 1 N m (c) 0 (d) τ = = +4 N m (e) The component of F that does useful work is F sin θ : The other component F cos θ exerts a pull away from hinge. τ = (10 sin 50 ) 0.8 = 6.1 N m (f) τ = = 16 N m B B The maximum torque will be when the force applied is perpendicular to the beam at the farthest end = 10 6 = 60 N. B A The force is perpendicular to the beam and the distance is half the length. Therefore torque = 10 3 = 30 N m. B The torque by the 70 kg mass is anticlockwise, hence given a positive sign and = 70 = 140 N m. The torque by the 30 kg mass is clockwise, hence given a negative sign and = 30 4 = 10 N m. (c) The beam will move down at A, hence correct option is (C). B F lw N w θ N g F lg F g = mg (i) mgl cos θ The weight of the ladder acts at its centre of mass. Its torque around X will be = τ Fg = (ii) The torque due to F w will be zero. (iii) The torque due to the normal reaction force will be solely by the vertical component of the normal reaction force which is N g sin θ. τ Ng = N g sin θ L cos θ = N g L sin θ cos θ (c) A Friction between the ground and the ladder continues to increase as θ decreases to keep the ladder balanced until θ θ c from which point onwards, the ladder is unbalanced. Statement (C) is also correct. B.1..1 Moment of inertia is the term for the inertia to rotational motion, i.e. resistance to angular acceleration. B.1.. Moment of inertia depends on the axis of rotation, the mass of the body, and the shape and size of the body. B.1..3 C B.1..4 The moment of inertia I of a point mass about a rotation axis is I = mr, where m is the mass of the object and r is the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis. It is measured in kg m. B.1..5 We calculate the moment of inertia of the rigid body by modelling it as a sum of many particles. We can then find the product I = mr for each particle and add them up to get the moment of inertia of the rigid body, I = Σmr or I = r dm. B.1..6 Moment of inertia, I = mr = = 0.11 kg m. B.1..7 Moment of inertia I = Σmr = [ (0.8/) ] = 0.64 kg m. Since the axis is now through one of the masses, that mass has no effect on the rotational inertia. Hence I = mr = [ (0.8) ] = 1.8 kg m. It can also be solved using the parallel axis theorem. Answers 50

2. For a S.H.O. determine, (a) the total energy (E), the kinetic and potential energies. of half amplitude: The amplitude of vibration and hence, the energy transferred into the vibrating system is found to depend on the difference between f and, its maximum when the frequency of the external force is equal
