- Circular Motion, Gravitation, Rotation, Bodies in
Equilibrium
2Circular Motion
- Ball at the end of a string revolving
- Planets around Sun
- Moon around Earth
3The Radian
- The radian is a unit of angular measure
- The radian can be defined as the arc length s
along a circle divided by the radius r -
57.3
4More About Radians
- Comparing degrees and radians
- Converting from degrees to radians
5Angular Displacement
- Axis of rotation is the center of the disk
- Need a fixed reference line
- During time t, the reference line moves through
angle ?
6Angular Displacement, cont.
- The angular displacement is defined as the angle
the object rotates through during some time
interval -
- The unit of angular displacement is the radian
- Each point on the object undergoes the same
angular displacement
7Average Angular Speed
- The average angular speed, ?, of a rotating rigid
object is the ratio of the angular displacement
to the time interval
8Angular Speed, cont.
- The instantaneous angular speed
- Units of angular speed are radians/sec
- rad/s
- Speed will be positive if ? is increasing
(counterclockwise) - Speed will be negative if ? is decreasing
(clockwise)
9Average Angular Acceleration
- The average angular acceleration of an object
is defined as the ratio of the change in the
angular speed to the time it takes for the object
to undergo the change
10Angular Acceleration, cont
- Units of angular acceleration are rad/s²
- Positive angular accelerations are in the
counterclockwise direction and negative
accelerations are in the clockwise direction - When a rigid object rotates about a fixed axis,
every portion of the object has the same angular
speed and the same angular acceleration
11Angular Acceleration, final
- The sign of the acceleration does not have to be
the same as the sign of the angular speed - The instantaneous angular acceleration
12Analogies Between Linear and Rotational Motion
Linear Motion with constant acc. (x,v,a)
Rotational Motion with fixed axis and constant
a (q,?,a)
13Examples
- 78 rev/min?
- A fan turns at a rate of 900 rpm
- Tangential speed of tips of 20cm long blades?
- Now the fan is uniformly accelerated to 1200 rpm
in 20 s
14Relationship Between Angular and Linear Quantities
- Displacements
- Speeds
- Accelerations
- Every point on the rotating object has the same
angular motion - Every point on the rotating object does not have
the same linear motion
15Centripetal Acceleration
- An object traveling in a circle, even though it
moves with a constant speed, will have an
acceleration - The centripetal acceleration is due to the change
in the direction of the velocity
16Centripetal Acceleration, cont.
- Centripetal refers to center-seeking
- The direction of the velocity changes
- The acceleration is directed toward the center of
the circle of motion
17Centripetal Acceleration, final
- The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is
given by - This direction is toward the center of the circle
18Centripetal Acceleration and Angular Velocity
- The angular velocity and the linear velocity are
related (v ?R) - The centripetal acceleration can also be related
to the angular velocity
19Forces Causing Centripetal Acceleration
- Newtons Second Law says that the centripetal
acceleration is accompanied by a force - F ma ?
- F stands for any force that keeps an object
following a circular path - Tension in a string
- Gravity
- Force of friction
20Examples

motion on an horizontal frictionless surface at 2
revolutions/s. What is the force on the mass by
the string (R20cm)?
23Newtons Law of Universal Gravitation
- Every particle in the Universe attracts every
other particle with a force that is directly
proportional to the product of the masses and
inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them.
24Universal Gravitation, 2

- G 6.673 x 10-11 N m² /kg²
- This is an example of an inverse square law
25Universal Gravitation, 3
- The force that mass 1 exerts on mass 2 is equal
and opposite to the force mass 2 exerts on mass 1 - The forces form a Newtons third law
action-reaction
26Universal Gravitation, 4
- The gravitational force exerted by a uniform
sphere on a particle outside the sphere is the
same as the force exerted if the entire mass of
the sphere were concentrated on its center

40Force vs. Torque
- Forces cause accelerations
- Torques cause angular accelerations
- Force and torque are related
41Torque
- The door is free to rotate about an axis through
O - There are three factors that determine the
effectiveness of the force in opening the door - The magnitude of the force
- The position of the application of the force
- The angle at which the force is applied
42Torque, cont
- Torque, t, is the tendency of a force to rotate
an object about some axis - t is the torque
- F is the force
- symbol is the Greek tau
- l is the length of lever arm
- SI unit is N.m
- Work done by torque W??
43Direction of Torque
- If the turning tendency of the force is
counterclockwise, the torque will be positive - If the turning tendency is clockwise, the torque
will be negative
44Multiple Torques
- When two or more torques are acting on an object,
the torques are added - If the net torque is zero, the objects rate of
rotation doesnt change
45Torque and Equilibrium
- First Condition of Equilibrium
- The net external force must be zero
- This is a necessary, but not sufficient,
condition to ensure that an object is in complete
mechanical equilibrium - This is a statement of translational equilibrium
46Torque and Equilibrium, cont
- To ensure mechanical equilibrium, you need to
ensure rotational equilibrium as well as
translational - The Second Condition of Equilibrium states
- The net external torque must be zero
47Equilibrium Example
- The woman, mass m, sits on the left end of the
see-saw - The man, mass M, sits where the see-saw will be
balanced - Apply the Second Condition of Equilibrium and
solve for the unknown distance, x
48Moment of Inertia
- The angular acceleration is inversely
proportional to the analogy of the mass in a
rotating system - This mass analog is called the moment of inertia,
I, of the object - SI units are kg m2
49Newtons Second Law for a Rotating Object
- The angular acceleration is directly proportional
to the net torque - The angular acceleration is inversely
proportional to the moment of inertia of the
object
50More About Moment of Inertia
- There is a major difference between moment of
inertia and mass the moment of inertia depends
on the quantity of matter and its distribution in
the rigid object. - The moment of inertia also depends upon the
location of the axis of rotation
51Moment of Inertia of a Uniform Ring
- Image the hoop is divided into a number of small
segments, m1 - These segments are equidistant from the axis
52Other Moments of Inertia
53Example
- Wheel of radius R20 cm and I30kgm². Force
F40N acts along the edge of the wheel. - Angular acceleration?
- Angular speed 4s after starting from rest?
- Number of revolutions for the 4s?
- Work done on the wheel?
54Rotational Kinetic Energy
- An object rotating about some axis with an
angular speed, ?, has rotational kinetic energy
KEr½I?2 - Energy concepts can be useful for simplifying the
analysis of rotational motion - Units (rad/s)!!
55Total Energy of a System
- Conservation of Mechanical Energy
- Remember, this is for conservative forces, no
dissipative forces such as friction can be
present - Potential energies of any other conservative
forces could be added
56Rolling down incline
- Energy conservation
- Linear velocity and angular speed are related
vR? - Smaller I, bigger v, faster!!
57Work-Energy in a Rotating System
- In the case where there are dissipative forces
such as friction, use the generalized Work-Energy
Theorem instead of Conservation of Energy - (KEtKERPE)iW(KEtKERPE)f
58Angular Momentum
- Similarly to the relationship between force and
momentum in a linear system, we can show the
relationship between torque and angular momentum - Angular momentum is defined as
- L I ?
- and
59Angular Momentum, cont
- If the net torque is zero, the angular momentum
remains constant - Conservation of Angular Momentum states The
angular momentum of a system is conserved when
the net external torque acting on the systems is
zero. - That is, when
60Conservation Rules, Summary
- In an isolated system, the following quantities
are conserved - Mechanical energy
- Linear momentum
- Angular momentum
61Conservation of Angular Momentum, Example

1.5 kg and radius 13 cm. What torque is required
to drive the turntable so that it accelerates at
a constant rate from 0 to 33.3 rpm in 2 seconds?
67Center of Gravity
- The force of gravity acting on an object must be
considered - In finding the torque produced by the force of
gravity, all of the weight of the object can be
considered to be concentrated at a single point
68Calculating the Center of Gravity
- The object is divided up into a large number of
very small particles of weight (mg) - Each particle will have a set of coordinates
indicating its location (x,y)
69Calculating the Center of Gravity, cont.
- We wish to locate the point of application of the
single force whose magnitude is equal to the
weight of the object, and whose effect on the
rotation is the same as all the individual
particles. - This point is called the center of gravity of the
object
70Coordinates of the Center of Gravity
- The coordinates of the center of gravity can be
found
71Center of Gravity of a Uniform Object
- The center of gravity of a homogenous, symmetric
body must lie on the axis of symmetry. - Often, the center of gravity of such an object is
the geometric center of the object.
72Example
- Find the center of mass (gravity) of these
masses 3kg (0,1), 2kg (0,0) - And 1kg (2,0)
73Example

counterclockwise, the torque will be positive - If the turning tendency is clockwise, the torque
will be negative
76Multiple Torques

the torques are added - If the net torque is zero, the objects rate of
rotation doesnt change
