Problem 14. Five particles of mass = 2 kg are attached to the rim of a circular disc of radius 0.1 m and negligible mass. Moment of inertia of the system about the axis passing through the centre of the disc and perpendicular to its plane is                                                                                                                                             [BHU 2003]

(a) 1 kg m²                       (b) 0.1 kg m²                 (c) 2 kg m²                       (d) 0.2 kg m²

Solution: (b) We will not consider the moment of inertia of disc because it doesn’t have any mass so moment of inertia of five particle system I = 5 mr ² = 5 ´ 2 ´(0.1)² = 0.1 kg–m² .

[By the theorem of perpendicular axis]

Problem 25.    Four masses are joined to a light circular frame as shown in the figure. The radius of gyration of this system about an axis passing through the centre of the circular frame and perpendicular to its plane would be

Solution: (c)       Since the circular frame is massless so we will consider moment of inertia of four masses only.

Torque.

If a pivoted, hinged or suspended body tends to rotate under the action of a force, it is said to be acted upon by a torque. or The turning effect of a force about the axis of rotation is called moment of force or torque due to the force.

®

If the particle rotating in xy plane about the origin under the effect of force F

®

and at any instant the position vector of the particle is r then,

®           ®    ®

Torque   =

t       r ´ F

t = r F sinf

®                 ®

[where f is the angle between the direction of r and F ]

 

 

 

 

• Torque is an axial i.e., its direction is always perpendicular to the plane containing vector

 

®                   ®

r and F

 

in accordance with right hand screw rule. For a given figure the sense of rotation is anti-clockwise so the direction of torque is perpendicular to the plane, outward through the axis of rotation.

• Rectangular components of force

 

®

Fr = F cos f = radial component of force ,

As          t = r F sin f

®

Ff = F sin f = transverse component of force

 

or          t = r Ff

= (position vector) ´ (transverse component of force)

 

Thus the magnitude of torque is given by the product of transverse component of force and its perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation i.e., Torque is due to transverse component of force only.

 

(3)   As or

t = r F sin f

t = F(r sinf ) = Fd

[As d = r sinf

from the figure ]

 

i.e. Torque = Force ´ Perpendicular distance of line of action of force from the axis of rotation. Torque is also called as moment of force and d is called moment or lever arm.

®         ®    ®

 

(4)   Maximum and minimum torque : As t = r ´ F

or t = r F sinf

 

 

t maximum = rF	When sin f = max = 1 i.e., f = 90°	®                                                                ® F is perpendicular to r
t minimum = 0	When sin f = min = 0 i.e. f = 0° or 180°	®                                               ® F is collinear to r

 

(5)   For a given force and angle, magnitude of torque depends on r. The more is the value of r, the more will be the torque and easier to rotate the body.

Example : (i) Handles are provided near the free edge of the Planck of the door.

(ii)  The handle of screw driver is taken thick.

• In villages handle of flourmill is placed near the

(iv)  The handle of hand-pump is kept long.

• The arm of wrench used for opening the tap, is kept

• Unit : Newton–metre (M.K.S.) and Dyne–cm (C.G.S.)

(7)   Dimension : [ML²T ^-2] .

• If a body is acted upon by more than one force, the total torque is the vector sum of each

®        ®          ®          ®

t = t 1 + t 2 + t 3 + ……..

®

 

(9)   A body is said to be in rotational equilibrium if resultant torque acting on it is zero i.e. S t

• In case of beam balance or see-saw the system will be in rotational equilibrium if,

= 0 .

 

®          ®

t 1 + t 2 = 0 or F₁l₁ – F₂l ₂ = 0 \ F₁l₁ = F₂l ₂

®              ®                                                                                                                           ®              ®

 

However if, t 1 > t ₂ , L.H.S. will move downwards and if

t 1 < t ₂ .

 

R.H.S. will move downward. and the system will not be in rotational equilibrium.

 

 

• On tilting, a body will restore its initial position due to torque of weight about the point O till the line of action of weight passes through its base on tilting, a body will topple due to torque of weight about O, if the line of action of weight does not pass through the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Torque is the cause of rotatory motion and in rotational motion it plays same role as force plays in translatory motion e., torque is rotational analogue of force. This all is evident from the following correspondences between rotatory and translatory motion.

 

Couple .

A special combination of forces even when the entire body is free to move can rotate it. This combination of forces is called a couple.

• A couple is defined as combination of two equal but oppositely directed force not acting along the same

®        ®   ®

line. The effect of couple is known by its moment of couple or torque by a couple τ = r ´ F .

 

• Generally both couple and torque carry equal meaning. The basic difference between torque and couple is the fact that in case of couple both the forces are externally applied while in case of torque one force is externally applied and the other is

i.e.                                L = L1 + L2 + L3 +…….. = constant.

Angular momentum of a system (may be particle or body) remains constant if resultant torque acting on it zero.

 

 

As L = Iw

so if t = 0

then

Iw = constant

Since angular momentum Iw remains constant so when I decreases, angular velocity w increases and vice-versa.

Examples of law of conservation of angular momentum :

(1)   The angular velocity of revolution of a planet around the sun in an elliptical orbit increases when the planet come closer to the sun and vice-versa because when planet comes closer to the sun, it’s moment of inertia I decreases there fore w increases.

• A circus acrobat performs feats involving spin by bringing his arms and legs closer to his body or vice- On bringing the arms and legs closer to body, his moment of inertia I decreases. Hence w increases.

 

(3)   A person-carrying heavy weight in his hands and standing on a rotating platform can change the speed of platform. When the person suddenly folds his arms. Its moment of inertia decreases and in accordance the angular speed increases.

Four objects each of mass m, are kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring.

Solution: (a)      Initial angular momentum of ring = Iw = MR²w

If four object each of mass m, and kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring then final angular momentum = (MR² + 4mR²)w‘
