Torques
The size of a torque depends on two things:1. The size of the force being applied (a larger force will have a greater effect)2. The distance away from the pivot point (the further away from this pivot, the greater the effect).

Center of Mass
A baseball thrown into the air follows a smooth parabolicpath. A baseball bat thrown into the air does not follow a smooth path.
The motion of the bat is the sum of two motions:
• a spin around this point
• a movement through the air as if all the mass were concentrated at this point.
This point, called the center of mass, is where all themass of an object can be considered to be concentrated.
The bat wobbles about a special point. This point stayson a parabolic path, even though the rest of the bat does not.

The motion of the wrench is a combination of straightline motion of its center of mass and rotation around its center of mass.
If the wrench were tossed into the air, its center of mass would follow a smooth parabola.

Location of the Center of Mass
For a symmetrical object, such as a baseball, the center of mass is at the geometric center of the object. For an irregularly shaped object, such as a baseball bat, the center of mass is toward the heavier end.
The center of mass for each object is shown by thered dot.
Examples
Objects not made of the same material throughout may have the center of mass quite far from the geometric center.

Under the action of a constant force of gravity, a body suspended or balanced at its center of mass will be balanced.
Only the center of mass of an object needs to be supported in order to support the object. The bird's center of mass is at its beak.
The center of mass for this object is under the horse's hind legs.

Static Torque
Torque is a measure of how much a force actingon an object causes that object to rotate.

Every time you turn on a water faucet, or tighten a nut with a wrench, you exert a turning force.
Torque is produced by this turning force.
Torque is different from force.
• Forces tend to make things accelerate.• Torques produce rotation.
P12 Torque Notes.notebook

A torque is produced when a force is applied with “leverage.”
• You use leverage when you use a claw hammer to pull a nail out of a piece of wood.
• The longer the handle of the hammer, the greater the leverage and the easier the task.
• The longer handle of a crowbar provides even more leverage.

Although the magnitudes of the applied forces are the same in each case, the torque in each case is different.

• A doorknob is placed far away from the turning axis at its hinges to provide more leverage when you push or pull on the doorknob.
• The direction of your applied force is important. In opening a door, you push perpendicular to the plane of the door.
• A perpendicular push or pull gives more rotation for less effort.
A torque is used when opening a door.
The diagram below shows four forces acting on a door.

Children can balance a seesaw even when their weights are not equal. Weight alone does not produce rotation—torque does.
Balanced Torques
A pair of torques can balance each other. Balance is achieved if the torque that tends to produce clockwise rotation by the boy equals the torque that tends to produce counterclockwise rotation by the girl.
Example

If the force is not at right angle to the lever arm, then only the perpendicular component of the force will contribute to the torque.
When a perpendicular force is applied, the lever armis the distance between the doorknob and the edge with the hinges.

Torque can be calculated using the following equation.

r the distance from pivot point to the point of contact; the lever arm
F force
θ angle between vectors r and F

Torque is a vector. The direction of torque is based on the direction in which the force would cause the object to rotate if it were acting alone.

F3: r = 0 m τ = 0 Nm
F4: r ≠ 0 m and sin θ ≠ 0 F4 will cause the door to rotate!
F1: θ = 0o sin 0o = 0 τ = 0 Nm
F5: θ = 90o sin 90o = 1 τ = rF sin o = rF Nmso F5 will cause door to rotate.
F2: θ = 180o sin 180o = 0 τ = 0 Nm
What if the force is perpendicular to the pivot point or axis of rotation?

Sample Problems - Torque
F = 4.90 x 102 N
r = 1.5 m

3. A 64 kg painter is standing three fourths of the distance up a ladder that is 3.0 m long. If the lad der makes an angle of 69o with the ground, what torque does the painter's weight exert on the lad der?
69o
m= 64 kg
r = 3/4 (3 m) = 2.25 m
o = 210
2.25
Fg = mg = (64)(9.80) = 627.2 N

It is only the component of the force perpendicular to the ladder generated by the painter's weight that needs to be resolved to calculate what torque the painter's weight exerts on the ladderFg

Rotational EquilibriumAn important concept that keeps objects, such as buildings, from falling down is rotational equilibrium.
An object is in rotational equilibrium if:
1. it has zero velocity
v = 0 m/s
2. the net force acting on the object is zero
Fnet = 0 N
3. the net torque acting on the object is zero
τnet = 0 Nm
