8. Moment of inertia • Homogeneous sphere/z’Oz z r sin j Radius: R, mass: M, density : r Contribution of the element dm, length: r sinj dq, weidth: r dj height : dr,, distance: r sinj j r y 0 q x r sin j r dj r r sin jdq j 0 B. Rossetto
8. Dynamics of a rigid body • Variable mass system Example: rocket vertical motion. If -dm is the positive value of the mass of expelled gases, v and v’ the rocket and gas exhaust velocities relative to earth axes, the total momentum at t+dt is: (m+dm)(v+dv)+(-dm)v’ =mv+mdv-v0dm, with v0=v’-v Momentum conservation requires that it is equal to momentum at t: mv+mdv-v0dm=mv From the second law: and then: B.
