10.1 Torque What is torque? When you apply a force to rotate an object about a pivot or an axis, the effectiveness of your action depends not only on the magnitude of the force you apply, but also on a quantity known as the moment arm. What is the moment arm? It is the perpendicular distance from the pivot or the axis to the line of action of the applied force. Torque = (Magnitude of Force) (Moment Arm) τ = Fl Units: N m ı റF
Torque is a Vector The Magnitude and the Direction of a Torque Using the examples in the figure on the right: (a) Torque by റF 1 τ 1 = F 1 l 1 (b) Torque by റF 2 τ 2 = F 2 l 2 counter-clockwise, positive clockwise, negative (c) Torque by റF 3 τ 3 = F 3 l 3 = 0
More on the Magnitude of Torque Three ways to calculate torque: = Fl = Frsin = F(rsin ) = Fr = (Fsin )r = F r

Which of the following statements correctly describe the order in the magnitudes of the torques by these three forces with respect to the pivot? (a) 1 = 2 = 3 (b) 1 > 3 > 2 (c) 2 > 3 > 1
10.2 Torque and Angular Acceleration Again, cut the rigid body into many small pieces, A, B, C,. The force acting on piece A is റF A. Consider the motion of piece (particle) A. According to Newton s Second Law, F A,tan = m A a A,tan = m A r A α τ A = r A F A,tan = m A r A 2 α Sum over the torques for all the pieces: τ A + τ B + τ C = m A r A 2 α + m B r B 2 α + m C r C 2 α + = (m A r A 2 + m B r B 2 + m C r C 2 + )α or σ τ = Iα This is also known as Newton s Second Law for rotational motion.
How about torques by internal forces? σ τ int = 0 Therefore, we have σ τ ext = Iα

The moment of inertia about the given axis I = 1 2 MR2 = 1 (50 kg)(0.06 2 m)2 = 0.090 kg m 2 Therefore, the angular acceleration a = /I = (0.54 N m)/(0.090 kg m 2 ) = 6.0 rad/s 2 Angular Displacement q q 0 = s/r = (2.0 m)/(0.06 m) = 33 rad Final angular velocity ω = ω 2 0 + 2α(q q 0 ) = 2α(q q 0 ) = 20 rad/s Final speed of cable v = rω = (0.06 m)(20 rad/s) = 1.2 m/s

If the angular position of A changes by θ, the work done by a constant force റF A acting on A is: W A = F A,tan R θ = τ A θ Sum over contributions from all the pieces, the total work W = τ θ = τ θ 2 θ 1 A few notes: (a) Applicable for constant torque τ. (b) Work has units N m. Power is the rate at which work is done: P = W θ = τ = τω t t (Compare with linear motion in which case P = Fv)
10.4 Angular Momentum In Chapter 8 we defined the momentum of a particle as റp = m റv, റp we could state Newton s Second Law as റF = lim. t 0 t Here we define the angular momentum of a rigid body: L = Iω Notes: It is also a vector, same as ω. Units: kg m 2 /s Angular momentum of a point particle: L = mvl (kg m 2 /s) Notes: (a) l is effective the moment arm (b) a particle moving along a straight line can still have an angular momentum about a pivot or rotational axis

10.6 Equilibrium of a Rigid Body The equilibrium of a point particle is determined by the conditions of σ F x = 0 and σ F y = 0. The Equilibrium of a Rigid Body For the equilibrium of a rigid body, both its linear motion and rotational motion must be considered. Therefore, in addition to σ F x = 0 and σ F y = 0, We must add another condition regarding its rotational motion σ τ = 0. This third condition can be set up about any chosen axis.
General principle: Strategy for Solving Rigid Body Equilibrium Problems The net force must be zero. The net torque about any axis must be zero. Draw a diagram according to the physical situation. Analyze all the forces acting on each part of a rigid body. Sketch all the relevant forces acting on the rigid body. Based on the force analysis, set up a most convenient x-y coordinate system. Break each force into components using this coordinates. Sum up all the x-components of the forces to an equation: σ F x = 0. Sum up all the y-components of the forces to an equation: σ F y = 0. Based on the force analysis, set up a most convenient rotational axis. Calculate the torque by each force about this rotational axis. Sum up all the torques by the forces to an equation: σ τ = 0. Use the above three equations to solve for unknown quantities.
