  1. Conservative vs. Non-conservative Forces The fundamental theorem of calculus can be written as follows: Why is this important? Because from it you can derive the definition of conservative forces, which is broadly defined as: The circle is used to denote that the limits of integration occur on a closed path, and thus the positions for evaluating the integral (i.e. at the initial and final positions) occur at the same point.

  2. Starting from the force equation, let’s re-write force as the derivative of a scalar function, U, and evaluate the integral as the derivative of U is integrated around a closed path. What if the force was due to gravity?

  3. Now let’s assume that the particle’s motion occurred around a closed path (meaning that it eventually returned to its starting position). Evaluating the integral shows that the integral of gravitational force around a closed path is zero. In other words, one can say that the state at which one can find the particle under the action of gravity is independent the path it takes between two points. Only the change in the scalar quantity U is required to compute the change in state of its initial and final positions. (i.e.) Let’s now define the scalar quantity U as the potential energy.

  4. Now let’s assume that the particle’s motion around a closed path is due to the force by a spring… The integral of the force due to a spring around a closed path is zero, and thus a spring is a conservative force. If we were to evaluate the potential energy of a spring at two different points: The scalar quantity U is now called the potential energy of the spring.

  5. where is denoted the gradient operator Now let’s generalize this to 3-dimensional vector fields. Assume the you have a force vector written in Cartesian coordinates. In order to test this concept, let’s look at the 3-D gravitational field...

  6. The force of gravity can be written as the gradient of a scalar function: Which leads to an expression for the gravitational potential energy defined purely as a scalar of the inverse distance away from the source. Since the integral of the force over a closed path is zero, gravity can be defined as a conservative force even in three dimensions.

  7. What are some examples of non-conservative forces? Friction and any processes that causes dissipation of heat. For example, the energy dissipated in going from position 1 to position 2, assuming velocity is constant (this assumption does not matter, but just facilitates the derivation), is given by: Likewise, the energy dissipated in going from position 2 back to position 1 is: Thus, the total energy dissipated in a closed path is: which is not zero! Thus friction is a non-conservative force (i.e. is path dependent).

  8. What about kinetic energy? Thus the change in potential energy, U, due to movement in a conservative force from position 1 to position 2 is re-allocated as kinetic energy, T. Another way to say this is that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy must always remain constant. (i.e.) This is a very powerful result because now we only have to look at the initial and final states instead of integrating through the entire path of motion. Starting from the previous derivation for potential energy

  9. Velocity is zero, so T=0 Potential energy is U=mgy Initial conditions at time t=0 Constraints: Bar has constant length Solution by energy method We must find the position at which the acceleration of slider B is zero. This may be an inflection point (i.e. where the velocity is also zero), it may be a point where the velocity is at a local maxima, or where the velocity is at a global maximum.

  10. Solving for the velocity of slider B: So, what conditions leads to the acceleration of slider B equal to zero?

  11. The condition that must be satisfied for the acceleration of slider B to equal zero is shown below. There are two solutions. One of them is: , however this is an inflection point, where the velocity is changing its direction. The other solution is: Due to the constraints of the length of the bar, the x-position is therefore: And therefore the maximum velocity is given as:

The collar is initially held at A by a cord attached to the shaft and compresses a spring of constant 6 N/m, which is undeformed when the collar is located 500 mm from the shaft. As the rod rotates at the rate qo = 16 rad/s, the cord is cut and the collar moves out along the rod.
