Two forces produce the

A) yes
B) no
Reading Quiz
Two forces produce the
same torque. Does it
follow that they have
the same magnitude?
A) yes
B) no
Because torque is the product of force times
distance, two different forces that act at different
distances could still give the same torque.

Solving Problems in Rotational Dynamics
1. Draw a diagram.
2. Decide what the system comprises.
3. Draw a free-body diagram for each object
under consideration, including all the forces
acting on it and where they act.
4. Find the axis of rotation; calculate the
torques around it.

Solving Problems in Rotational Dynamics
5. Apply Newton’s second law for rotation. If
the rotational inertia is not provided, you
need to find it before proceeding with this
step.  i  I

You are using a
wrench to loosen a
rusty nut. Which
arrangement will be
the most effective in
loosening the nut?
Because the forces are all
the same, the only
difference is the lever
arm. The arrangement
with the largest lever arm
(case #B) will provide the
largest torque.

Two Spheres. Two uniform solid spheres
of mass M and radius r0 are connected by a
thin (massless) rod of length r0 so that the
centers are 3r0 apart. (a) Determine the
moment of inertia of this system about an
axis perpendicular to the rod at its center.
(b) What would be the percentage error if
the masses of each sphere were assumed to
be concentrated at their centers and a very
simple calculation made?

Balanced Pole. A 2.30-m-long pole
is balanced vertically on its tip. It
starts to fall and its lower end does
not slip. What will be the speed of
the upper end of the pole just before
it hits the ground? [Hint: Use
conservation of energy.]

Now we also need to draw a rotational free-body diagram,
because objects can rotate as well as translate. (see figure)

For pulley:    TR  I 
For mass:

But we have a connection between a and  :

A force is applied to a dumbbell
for a certain period of time, first
as in (a) and then as in (b). In
which case does the dumbbell
acquire the greater
center-of-mass speed ?
A) case (a)
B) case (b)

Conceptual Quiz
A force is applied to a dumbbell
for a certain period of time, first
as in (a) and then as in (b). In
which case does the dumbbell
acquire the greater
center-of-mass speed ?
Because the same force acts for the
same time interval in both cases, the
change in momentum must be the
same, thus the CM velocity must be
the same.

which case does the dumbbell
acquire the greater energy ?
If the CM velocities are the same, the
translational kinetic energies must
be the same. Because dumbbell (b)
is also rotating, it has rotational
kinetic energy in addition.

Bicycle Wheelie. When bicycle and motorcycle riders “pop a
wheelie,” a large acceleration causes the bike’s front wheel to
leave the ground. Let M be the total mass of the bike-plus-rider
system; let x and y be the horizontal and vertical distance of this
system’s CM from the rear wheel’s point of contact with the
ground (see figure). (a) Determine the horizontal acceleration a
required to barely lift the bike’s front wheel off of the ground.
(b) To minimize the acceleration necessary
to pop a wheelie, should x be
made as small or as large as
possible? How about y? How
should a rider position his or
her body on the bike in order
to achieve these optimal
values for x and y? (c) If
x = 35 cm and y = 95 cm,
find a.
