Center of Mass and Center of Gravity
The center of mass of any symmetric object lies on an
axis of symmetry and on any plane of symmetry, if
object’s mass is evenly distributed throughout the body.
How do you think you can
determine the CM of
objects that are not
symmetric?
Center of Gravity

One can use gravity to locate CM.
symmetry
1. Hang the object by one point and draw a vertical line
following a plum-bob.
2. Hang the object by another point and do the same.
3. The point where the two lines meet is the CM.
Since a rigid object can be considered as a collection
of small masses, one can see the total gravitational
force exerted on the object as

The net effect of these small gravitational
forces is equivalent to a single force acting on
a point (Center of Gravity) with mass M.

Motion of a Group of Particles
We’ve learned that the CM of a system can represent the motion of a system.

Fundamentals on Rotation
Linear motions can be described as the motion of the center of
mass with all the mass of the object concentrated on it.
Is this still true for
rotational motions?
No, because different parts of the object have
different linear velocities and accelerations.
Consider a motion of a rigid body – an object that
does not change its shape – rotating about the axis
protruding out of the slide.
The arc length is l Rq
l
Therefore the angle, q, is q  R . And the unit of
the angle is in radian. It is dimensionless!!
One radian is the angle swept by an arc length equal to the radius of the arc.
Since the circumference of a circle is 2pr,
360  2pr / r  2p
The relationship between radian and degrees is 1 rad  360  / 2p  180 / p

Rotational Kinematics
The first type of motion we have learned in linear kinematics was
under a constant acceleration. We will learn about the rotational
motion under constant angular acceleration, because these are the
simplest motions in both cases.
Just like the case in linear motion, one can obtain
Angular Speed under constant

Relationship Between Angular and Linear Quantities
What do we know about a rigid object that rotates
about a fixed axis of rotation?
Every particle (or masslet) in the object moves in a
circle centered at the axis of rotation.
When a point rotates, it has both the linear and angular
components in its motion.
What is the linear component of the motion you see?
Linear velocity along the tangential direction.
The
direction
of 
follows a
right-hand
rule.
How do we related this linear component of the motion
with angular component?

What does this relationship tell you about Although every particle in the object has the same

Is the lion faster than the horse?
A rotating carousel has one child sitting on a horse near the outer edge
and another child on a lion halfway out from the center. (a) Which child has
the greater linear speed? (b) Which child has the greater angular speed?
(a) Linear speed is the distance traveled
divided by the time interval. So the child
sitting at the outer edge travels more
distance within the given time than the child
sitting closer to the center. Thus, the horse
is faster than the lion.
(b) Angular speed is the angle traveled divided by the time interval. The
angle both the children travel in the given time interval is the same.
Thus, both the horse and the lion have the same angular speed.

in a circular motion and what are they? Two

Example for Rotational Motion
Audio information on compact discs are transmitted digitally through the readout system consisting of laser
and lenses. The digital information on the disc are stored by the pits and flat areas on the track. Since
the speed of readout system is constant, it reads out the same number of pits and flats in the same time
interval. In other words, the linear speed is the same no matter which track is played. a) Assuming the
linear speed is 1.3 m/s, find the angular speed of the disc in revolutions per minute when the inner most
(r=23mm) and outer most tracks (r=58mm) are read.

Consider an object pivoting about the point P
by the force F being exerted at a distance r.
The line that extends out of the tail of the force
vector is called the line of action.
The perpendicular distance from the pivoting point
P to the line of action is called Moment arm.
Magnitude of torque is defined as the product of the force
exerted on the object to rotate it and the moment arm.
When there are more than one force being exerted on certain
points of the object, one can sum up the torque generated by each
force vectorially. The convention for sign of the torque is positive if
rotation is in counter-clockwise and negative if clockwise.

Example for Torque and Angular Acceleration
A uniform rod of length L and mass M is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot and is
free to rotate about the pivot in the vertical plane. The rod is released from rest in the
horizontal position. What are the initial angular acceleration of the rod and the initial linear
acceleration of its right end?
