    This study sheet provides an overview of key concepts in angular kinetics and torque covered in Chapters 5 and 7. It defines torque as the turning effect of a force and the formula T=FxR. Increasing the moment arm increases torque while decreasing it decreases torque. The center of gravity is explained as the point where an object's mass is balanced, and it can be altered by moving limbs. Stability increases with greater height/width and weight. The 3 classes of levers are described along with examples. Newton's laws of motion are related to angular motion, and moment of inertia is defined as a rotating body continuing uniform motion without torque. Moment of inertia is affected by mass distance from the axis of rotation and was applied to

    Biomechanics KNES 311: Spring 2015

    Exam #2 Study Sheet


    Chapters 5 and 7: Angular Kinetics and Torque
    - Be able describe what is angular kinetics
    -

    Torque: What is it and how is it calculated


    Turning effect produced by a force
    T= F x R

    How does increasing or decreasing the moment arm affect the amount of torque that can be
    produced?
    Increasing the moment arm increases the amount of torque. Decreasing the moment arm decreases the
    amount of torque
    - Define center of gravity
    - Point in a body around which its mass or weight is evenly distributed or balanced and through
    which the force of gravity acts
    o How is it altered- moving an arm, leg, etc out of anatomical position
    o Where is it located (males vs. females)
    57% males; 55% females
    o How is center of gravity of an object or body related to stability
    - What are 3 factors that can increase stability?
    Increase height of the center of gravity
    Increase base of support
    Increase weight of the object
    - Be familiar with the 3 classes of levers
    o What is the most common class found in the human body?
    3rd class
    o Be able to give an example of each class of lever?
    1st class- head sitting on the 1st cervical vertebrae
    2nd class- plantar flexion
    3rd class- bicep curl
    - Be able to apply Newtons Laws of motion to angular motion
    - As it relates to Newtons 1st law, be able to define moment of inertia
    A rotating body will continue will remain in a state of uniform angular motion unless acted upon by an
    external torque
    o What affects the moment of inertia?
    - Dependent on mass and distance from axis of rotation
    o Be familiar with how the moment of inertia was applied to real-life sport examples (i.e.
    diving, sprinting)
    o A sprinter will be able to have increased angular velocity if the mass of the limb is closer
    to the hip joint; which moves weight closer to the center of axis
    o
    A bigger man will take longer to accelerate because of a greater moment of inertia compared to a smaller
    man. Ex: running back versus defensive lineman
    - How is the moment of inertia linked to linear velocity (i.e. golf club example provided in the PPT
    As the moment of inertia increases, linear velocity decreases
