Rigid Bodies and Rotational Dynamics

B.1.1.1 Torque is the ability of a force to cause rotation of an object about an axis or a pivot.

B.1.1.2 A force causes a push or a pull while a torque causes rotation of an object.

B.1.1.3 Torque, τ = F × d. It is measured in N m.

B.1.1.4 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.1.1.5 τ = F × d┴ = Fd sin θ in each of the following cases. Clockwise torque is negative and anticlockwise is positive.

(a) τ = –10 × 0.8 = –8 N m

(b) τ = –10 × 0.1 = –1 N m

(c) 0

(d) τ = +10 × 0.4 = +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 = –20 × 0.8 = –16 N m

B.1.1.6 B The maximum torque will be when the force applied is perpendicular to the beam at the farthest end = 10 × 6 = 60 N.

B.1.1.7 A The force is perpendicular to the beam and the distance is half the length. Therefore torque = 10 × 3 = 30 N m.

B.1.1.8 (a) The torque by the 70 kg mass is anticlockwise, hence given a positive sign and = 70 × 2 = 140 N m.

(b) The torque by the 30 kg mass is clockwise, hence given a negative sign and = –30 × 4 = –120 N m.

(c) The beam will move down at A, hence correct option is (C).

B.1.1.9 (a)

(b) (i) The weight of the ladder acts at its centre of mass. Its torque around X will be = τθ

Fg

mgL=

cos2

(ii) The torque due to Fw 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 Ng sin θ.

τ Ng = Ng sin θ × L cos θ = NgL 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 ≤ θc from which point onwards, the ladder is unbalanced. Statement (C) is also correct.

B.1.2.1 Moment of inertia is the term for the inertia to rotational motion, i.e. resistance to angular acceleration.

B.1.2.2 Moment of inertia depends on the axis of rotation, the mass of the body, and the shape and size of the body.

B.1.2.3 C

B.1.2.4 The moment of inertia I of a point mass about a rotation axis is I = mr2, where m is the mass of the object and r is the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis. It is measured in kg m2.

B.1.2.5 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 = mr2 for each particle and add them up to get the moment of inertia of the rigid body, I = Σmr2 or I = ∫r2 dm .

B.1.2.6 Moment of inertia, I = mr2 = 5.0 × 0.152 = 0.11 kg m2.

B.1.2.7 (a) Moment of inertia I = Σmr 2 = [2 × (0.8/2)2] × 2 = 0.64 kg m2.

(b) Since the axis is now through one of the masses, that mass has no effect on the rotational inertia. Hence I = mr 2 = [2 × (0.8)2 ] = 1.28 kg m2. It can also be solved using the parallel axis theorem.
