Rotational Dynamics and Static Equilibrium

TorqueYou want to rotate a wheel from rest, to loosen anut, etc.. What do you do?

Physics 201 – p. 10/18

Torque

Look at Fig. 11-1. For the most efficient wayof doing that, we would apply the force in thedirection which is perpendicular to the wheelpoke or to the wrench. For other angles, theeffect of the applied force will be less. Inaddition, it turns out that it is more efficient if itis applied as far as possible from the axis ofrotation. This tells us that we should look for aquantity that can exhibit such a behaviour.

Physics 201 – p. 11/18

Torque

Furthermore, as long as we keep applying theforce, the object (wheel, wrench,..) turnsfaster and faster. That means it has anangular acceleration α. For linear dynamics, anet force gives rise to an linear acceleration.What gives rise to α? The Torque: ~τ . It is alsoa vector!

Physics 201 – p. 12/18

Torque

Torque: τ = rF sin θ; θ: angle of the forcerelative to the radial line.

The force ~F can be decomposed into acomponent F cos θ, along the radial line and acomponent F sin θ perpendicular to the radialline and tangential to the trajectory. Accordingto the above statement, only the lattercomponent contributes to the torque.

Torque and Angular acceleration

Take an object of mass m and attach it to oneend of a massless rod of length r. Apply aforce ~F on the object. As we have seen, onlythe component Ft = mat tangential to thetrajectory contributes. The torque on theparticle is τ = rFt = rmat. But at = rα

τ = mr2α = Iα or ~τ = I~α

Therod rotates with the axis of rotation going throughthe center of the rod. The initial angular speed isω0 = 2.1 rad/s. A force F = 9.6 N is applied toone of the two objects and tangential to thecircular trajectory, and for t = 2 s. Find the final ω
