GENERAL PHYSICS 1
MODULE 8

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
 At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to solve multi concept, rich context problems using
rotational motion.

LESSON OUTLINE:
a. Rotational Equilibrium

LESSON:

Rotational Kinetic Energy – a system of particles participating in rotational motion.

K = ∑ mv/2

Moment of inertia – It depends on the quantity of matter.

Rigid Body – the sum is calculated over all elements of the volume.

Torque – the ability to rotate will all also depend on how far from the rotation axis the force is applied.

T = ft x r
= f sin θ x r

Moment art or level arm

R = r si θ

Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about some axis

Torque is a vector
The direction is perpendicular to the place determined by the position vector and the force

If the turning tendency of the force is CCW (CE). the torque will be positive (negative)

When two or more torques are acting on an object, they are added as vectors

Net torque – the sum of all the torques produced by all the forces.

If the net torque is zero, the objects rate of rotation does not change
Forces cause all accelerations, whereas torques cause angular rotation.

Newtons 2nd Law of Rotation

Consider a particle rotating under the influence of a force

For tangential components

T = fr = mar = m(ar)r = Ia
T = Ia

Center of Gravity – it is the gravitational force on a body effectively acts on a single point.

Equilibrium – a state of rest, where there is no change.

2 types of equilibrium

a. Stable – the body returns to the state of static equilibrium.

b. Unstable – the state of equilibrium is lost after a small force displaces the body.

Center of mass – a stable equilibrium, the torque created by the gravity force and its direction relative to the
possible points of rotation.

Balance of forces – the vector sum of all the external forces that act on the body is zero
Balance of torques – the vector sum of all the external torques that act on the body, measured about any
possible point, is zero.

Indeterminate systems – cannot be solved by a simple application of the equilibrium conditions.

Total energy of a system – conservation of mechanical energy.
