The unit of torque is N m (newton metre), a vector product unlike the joule (unit of work), also equal to a newton metre, which is scalar product. Torque is occurred because of turning (twisting) effects of the forces on a body. Sign convention of torque: Positive - turning tendency of the force is anticlockwise. Negative - turning tendency of the force is clockwise. The value of torque depends on the rotation axis and the magnitude of applied force.

8.2.1.2 Equilibrium of a rigid body

Rigid body is defined as a body with definite shape that doesnt change, so that the particles that compose it stay in fixed position relative to one another even though a force is exerted on it. If the rigid body is in equilibrium, means the body is translational and rotational equilibrium. There are two conditions for the equilibrium of forces acting on a rigid body. The vector sum of all forces acting on a rigid body must be zero.

F = Fnett = 0

Fx = 0 ,

Fy = 0 ,

Fz = 0

CHAPTER 8
The vector sum of all external torques acting on a rigid body must be zero about any rotation axis.

This ensures rotational equilibrium. This is equivalent to the three independent scalar equations along the direction of the coordinate axes,

x = 0 ,

y = 0,

z = 0

Centre of gravity, CG is defined as the point at which the whole weight of a body may be considered to act. A force that exerts on the centre of gravity of an object will cause a translational motion.

8.5 Conservation of angular momentum

L 8.5.1 Angular momentum,

is defined as the product of the angular velocity of a body and its moment of inertia about the rotation axis. OR is analogous to the p= mv

L= I

where

I : moment of inertia of a body : angular velocity of a body

L : angular momentum

It is a vector quantity. Its dimension is M L2 T1 The S.I. unit of the angular momentum is kg m2 s1.

114

PHYSICS

CHAPTER 8

The relationship between angular momentum, L with linear momentum, p is given by vector notation : magnitude form :

L = r p = r m v

L= rp sin =mvr sin

where

Newtons second law of motion in term of linear momentum is

r : distance from the particle to the rotation axis :the angle between { r with { v
d p F = F nett = dt

hence we can write the Newtons second law in angular form as

and states that a vector sum of all the torques acting on a rigid body is proportional to the rate of change of angular momentum. 115

d L = nett = dt

CHAPTER 8

8.5.2 Principle of conservation of angular momentum

states that a total angular momentum of a system about an rotation axis is constant if no external torque acts on the system. OR

Example 8.23 :

CHAPTER 8

A raw egg and a hard-boiled egg are rotating about the same axis of rotation with the same initial angular velocity. Explain which egg will rotate longer. Solution : The answer is hard-boiled egg.

120

PHYSICS

CHAPTER 8

Solution : Reason Raw egg : When the egg spins, its yolk being denser moves away from the axis of rotation and then the moment of inertia of the egg increases 2 because of I = mr From the principle of conservation of angular momentum, If the I is increases hence its angular velocity, will decreases. Hard-boiled egg : The position of the yolk of a hard-boiled egg is fixed. When the egg is rotated, its moment of inertia does not increase and then its angular velocity is constant. Therefore the egg continues to spin.

I= constant
