Rotation of a Rigid Object about a Fixed Axis

Rigid Object

A

rigid object

is one that is non-deformable.

 The relative locations of all particles making up the object remain constant.

 All real objects are deformable to some extent, but the rigid object model is very useful in many situations where the deformation is negligible.

Introduction

Angular Position

P

is located at (

r

, q ) where

r

is the distance from the origin to

P

measured counterclockwise from the reference line.

and q is the  As the particle moves, the only coordinate that changes is q, and as the particle moves through q , it moves though an arc length s.

 The arc length and r are related:  s = q r

+

Radian

 This can also be expressed as: q =

s r

Angular Position, final

 We can associate the angle q as with an individual particle.

with the entire rigid object as well  Remember every particle on the object rotates through the same angle.

 The

angular position

of the rigid object is the angle q the reference line on the object and the fixed reference line in space.

between  The fixed reference line in space is often the x-axis.

 The angle θ plays the same role in rotational motion that the position

x

does in translational motion.

Section 10.1

Angular Displacement

 The

angular displacement

is defined as the angle the object rotates through during some time interval.

i

 This is the angle that the reference line of length

r

sweeps out.

Directions, details

 Strictly speaking, the speed and acceleration ( w , a ) are the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration vectors.

 The directions are actually given by the right-hand rule.

Rotational Kinematic Equations

 The kinematic expression for the rigid object under constant angular acceleration are of the same mathematical form as those for a particle under constant acceleration.

 Substitutions from translational to rotational are  x → θ   v → ω a → α

+

Example

 A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 3.50 rad/s 2 .    If the angular speed of the wheel is 2.00 rad/s at t i = 0, through what angular displacement does the wheel rotate in 2.00 s?

Through how many revolutions has the wheel turned during this time period?

What is the angular speed of the wheel at t = 2.00s?

Relationship Between Angular & Translational Motion

 The linear velocity is always tangent to the circular path.

 Called the tangential velocity  The magnitude is defined by the tangential speed.

v

w  Since r is not the same for all points on the object, the tangential speed of every point is not the same.

 The tangential speed increases as one moves outward from the center of rotation.

How many revolutions does the disc make during that time?

 What is the angular acceleration of the compact disc over the 4473 s time interval?

Torque

 Torque, t , is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about some axis.

  Torque is a vector, but we will deal with its magnitude here: t =

r F

sin f =

F d

  F is the force f is the angle the force makes with the horizontal 

d

the force (or lever arm) of  There is no unique value of the torque on an object.

 Its value depends on the choice of a rotational axis.

Moment of Inertia

i i

 The dimensions of moment of inertia are ML 2 and its SI units are kg .

m 2.

 We can calculate the moment of inertia of an object more easily by assuming it is divided into many small volume elements, each of mass D m i.

 Mass is an inherent property of an object, but the moment of inertia depends on the choice of rotational axis.

 Moment of inertia is a measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion, similar to mass being a measure of an object ’ s resistance to changes in its translational motion.

 The moment of inertia depends on the mass and how the mass is distributed around the rotational axis.

 Figure 10.11

Example

 A uniform rod of length L and mass M is attached to one end of a frictionless pivot and is free to rotate about the pivot in the vertical plane. The rod is released from rest in the horizontal position. What are the initial angular acceleration of the rod and the initial translational acceleration of its right end?  Figure 10.12

Falling Smokestack Example

 When a tall smokestack falls over, it often breaks somewhere along its length before it hits the ground.

 Each higher portion of the smokestack has a larger tangential acceleration than the points below it.

 The shear force due to the tangential acceleration is greater than the smokestack can withstand.

 The smokestack breaks.

 This is the mathematic representation of the analysis model of a

rigid body under a net torque.

 The result also applies when the forces have radial components.

 The line of action of the radial component must pass through the axis of rotation.

 These components will produce zero torque about the axis.

Example

 A wheel of radius, R, mass M, and moment of inertia I is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axis as shown to the right. A light cord wrapped around the wheel supports an object of mass m. When the wheel is released, the object accelerates downward, the cord unwraps off the wheel, and the wheel rotates with an angular acceleration. Find the expressions for the angular acceleration of the wheel, the translational acceleration of the object, and the tension in the cord.

Moment of Inertia, cont

 The moment of inertia of a system of discrete particles can be calculated by applying the definition for I.

 For a continuous rigid object, imagine the object to be divided into many small elements, each having a mass of

Δm i.

Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem in Rotational Motion

 The work-kinetic energy theorem for rotational motion states that

the net work done by external forces in rotating a symmetrical rigid object about a fixed axis equals the change in the object

s rotational kinetic energy.

 The rotational form can be combined with the linear form which indicates

the net work done by external forces on an object is the change in its total kinetic energy, which is the sum of the translational and rotational kinetic energies.

Total Kinetic Energy, Example

 Accelerated rolling motion is possible only if friction is present between the sphere and the incline.

  The friction produces the net torque required for rotation.

No loss of mechanical energy occurs because the contact point is at rest relative to the surface at any instant.
