PHYSICS 231INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS I Lecture 12
Last Lecture • Newton’s Law of gravitation • Kepler’s Laws of Planetary motion • Ellipses with sun at focus • Sweep out equal areas in equal times
Gravitational Potential Energy • PE = mgh valid only near Earth’s surface • For arbitrary altitude • Zero reference level isat r=
Example 7.18 You wish to hurl a projectile from the surface of the Earth (Re= 6.38x106 m) to an altitude of 20x106 m above the surface of the Earth. Ignore rotation of the Earth and air resistance. a) What initial velocity is required? b) What velocity would be required in order for the projectile to reach infinitely high? I.e., what is the escape velocity? c) (skip) How does the escape velocity compare to the velocity required for a low earth orbit? a) 9,736 m/s b) 11,181 m/s c) 7,906 m/s
Chapter 8 Rotational Equilibrium and Rotational Dynamics
Torque • Torque, t , is tendency of a force to rotate object about some axis • F is the force • d is the lever arm (or moment arm) • Units are Newton-meters Door Demo
Torque is vector quantity • Direction determined by axis of twist • Perpendicular to both r and F • Clockwise torques point into paper. Defined as negative • Counter-clockwise torques point out of paper. Defined as positive r r F F + -
Non-perpendicular forces Φ is the angle between F and r
Torque and Equilibrium • Forces sum to zero (no linear motion) • Torques sum to zero (no rotation)
Axis of Rotation • Torques require point of reference • Point can be anywhere • Use same point for all torques • Pick the point to make problem easiest (eliminate unwanted Forces from equation)
Example 8.1 Given M = 120 kg. Neglect the mass of the beam. a) Find the tensionin the cable b) What is the force between the beam andthe wall a) T=824 N b) f=353 N
Another Example Given: W=50 N, L=0.35 m, x=0.03 m Find the tension in the muscle W x L F = 583 N
Center of Gravity • Gravitational force acts on all points of an extended object • However, one can treat gravity as if it acts at one point: thecenter-of-gravity. • Center of gravity:

F m R Torque and Angular Acceleration Analogous to relation between F and a Moment of Inertia
Moment of Inertia • Moment of inertia, I: rotational analog to mass • r defined relative to rotation axis • SI units are kg m2
More About Moment of Inertia • Depends on mass and its distribution. • If mass is distributed further from axis of rotation, moment of inertia will be larger.
Moment of Inertia of a Uniform Ring • Divide ring into segments • The radius of each segment is R
Example 8.6 What is the moment of inertia of the following point masses arranged in a square? a) about the x-axis? b) about the y-axis? c) about the z-axis? a) 0.72 kgm2 b) 1.08 kgm2 c) 1.8 kgm2
