If I hang a 50 g mass atthe end of the left sideof the balance...

So in the case of this balance, we have...

• In our scale experiments, we’ve been playingaround with a physical quantity that we’venot yet encountered formally.
• Our experiments show us that this quantity isrelated to a force applied at a distance.
• The farther away from the pivot point the forceis applied, the greater our new quantity is.
Summary 1
Ch 11: Rotational DynamicsTuesNov
.02.Phys111
• We’ve also seen that the quantity is additive.That is, if we have two forces on one side of thepivot at two different distances, the resultingphysical quantity is simply the sum of the twoforce * distance products.
• Before we name our new physical quantity,let’s examine one more thought experiment.
• When present and unbalanced, our new physicalquantity causes the scale to rotate in thedirection of the unbalanced force.

What will eventually happen to this system?(Assume there is SOME friction in the pivot,but that the pivot is free to rotate 360o.)

We still have a mass of 50 gat a distance L from the pivotpoint, so why has the motionstopped? What hashappened to the value of ournew physical quantity?

For this case, we notice thatthe gravitational force on themass is acting along thelength of the balance.
In other words, the force isparallel to the radius of lengthL around the pivot point.
In this case, themagnitude of ournew physicalquantity must be

Let’s finally give a name tothis new physical quantity. How about...
Where d is the distance from the pivot point (thepoint of rotation) to the point at which the forceis applied and…
F⊥
is the component of the appliedforce that is perpendicular to theline joining the pivot point to thepoint at which the force is applied.

Ch 11: Rotational DynamicsTuesNov

[|τ |] = [F⊥ ][d]
[|τ |] = N m
Although torque has the same units as energy(J), we generally denote torques as forcesacting at a distance, and therefore leave theunits in the form N m.

So, if the cos θ > 2/3, the end of the stickwill move with a linear acceleration > g.

When there is no NET external torqueon a system, the angular momentumof the system will be conserved.
So when examining isolated systems,total energy, linear momentum, and angularmomentum are all conserved!

So we’ve defined another form of kinetic energy.
Before, we studied translational kinetic energy.Now we have rotational kinetic energy, too.
So the total kinetic energy of a system nowincludes two terms (if the system is rotatingand translating):

A figure skater stands on one spot on the ice (assumedfrictionless) and spins around with her arms extended.When she pulls in her arms, she reduces her rotationalinertia and her angular speed increases so that herangular momentum is conserved. Compared to her initialrotational kinetic energy, her rotational kinetic energyafter she has pulled in her arms must be

1. the same.2. larger because she’s rotating faster.3. smaller because her rotational inertia is smaller.

So, when we examine the total energy ofa system, we must take care to include therotational kinetic energy term as well.
The total energy (including rotational kineticenergy) will be conserved so long as NO non-conservative forces are acting upon the system.

We have studied objects in “equilibrium” before.
What is the defining characteristicof an object in equilibrium?
And from our earlier studies, the fact that itdid not accelerate indicated that:
Fnet = 0
Equilibrium
Ch 11: Rotational DynamicsTuesNov
.02.Phys111
But is this a sufficient condition to ensurethat in fact an object does not acceleratein some way?
This “zero net force” conditiononly guarantees that the center of massof the object on which the forces arebeing exerted does not accelerate.
Let’s look at the meter stick again...

Is the net force in this system zero?
So why does the ruler rotate withincreasing speed?
Because the net torque is NOT zero!
We have a new equilibrium condition:τ net = 0
New equilibrium condition
Ch 11: Rotational DynamicsTuesNov
.02.Phys111
For an object to be in STATIC equilibrium(i.e., at rest, not moving, not rotating), thefollowing TWO conditions must be met.
Fnet = 0
τ net = 0
(We’re free to pick ANY origin about which tocomputer our torques in this case.)
