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, or sergita, is l R
Therefore the angle, , is
the angle is in radian.
l

. And the unit of
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 about a fixed rotational
axis, because these are the simplest motions in both cases.
Just like the case in linear motion, one can obtain

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 motion
components in its motion.

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

proportional to its distance from the axis of rotation.

F2
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.

wrapped around the drum whose radius is R1 exerts force F1 to the right on the cylinder,

Conditions for Equilibrium
What do you think does the term “An object is at its equilibrium” mean?
The object is either at rest (Static Equilibrium) or its center of mass
is moving with a constant velocity (Dynamic Equilibrium).
When do you think an object is at its equilibrium?
Translational Equilibrium: Equilibrium in linear motion
Is this it?
The above condition is sufficient for a point-like particle to be at its static
equilibrium. However for object with size this is not sufficient. One more
condition is needed. What is it?

on a rigid object as shown in the figure. What do you think will happen?

and if the net torque acting on the object is 0

Why is this true?

Elastic Properties of Solids
We have been assuming that the objects do not change their
shapes when external forces are exerting on it. It this realistic?
No. In reality, the objects get deformed as external forces act on it,
though the internal forces resist the deformation as it takes place.
Deformation of solids can be understood in terms of Stress and Strain
Stress: A quantity proportional to the force causing deformation. (Ultimate
strength of a material)
Strain: Measure of degree of deformation
It is empirically known that for small stresses, strain is proportional to stress
The constants of proportionality are called Elastic Modulus Elastic Modulus

One can measure pressure using an open-tube manometer,
where one end is connected to the system with unknown
pressure P and the other open to air with pressure P0.
The measured pressure of the system is
P P0 rgh
This is called the absolute pressure, because it is the
actual value of the system’s pressure.
In many cases we measure pressure difference with respect to
atmospheric pressure due to changes in P0 depending on the PG P P0
environment. This is called gauge or relative pressure.
rgh
The common barometer which consists of a mercury column with one end closed at vacuum
and the other open to the atmosphere was invented by Evangelista Torricelli.
Since the closed end is at vacuum, it
does not exert any force. 1 atm is

Wednesday, May 5, 2004
The total force applies to different directions, depending on the
difference of the density between the object and the fluid.
1. If the density of the object is smaller than the density of
the fluid, the buoyant force will push the object up to the
surface.
2. If the density of the object is larger that the fluid’s, the
object will sink to the bottom of the fluid.

Damped Oscillation
More realistic oscillation where an oscillating object loses its mechanical
energy in time by a retarding force such as friction or air resistance.
How do you think the
motion would look?
Amplitude gets smaller as time goes on since its energy is spent.

frequency f0.

However a system may have an external force applied to it that has
its own particular frequency (f), causing forced vibration.
For a forced vibration, the amplitude of vibration is found to be dependent
on the different between f and f0. and is maximum when f=f0.
A: light damping
B: Heavy damping
The amplitude can be large when
f=f0, as long as damping is small.
This is called resonance. The natural
frequency f0 is also called resonant frequency.

Characterization of Waves
• Waves can be characterized by
– Amplitude: Maximum height of a crest or the depth of a trough
– Wave length: Distance between two successive crests or any
two identical points on the wave
– Period: The time elapsed by two successive crests passing by
the same point in space.
– Frequency: Number of crests that pass the same point in space
in a unit time
• Wave velocity: The velocity at which any part of the
wave moves

Waves vs Particle Velocity
Is the velocity of a wave moving along a cord the
same as the velocity of a particle of the cord?
No. The two velocities are
different both in magnitude
and direction. The wave
on the rope moves to the
right but each piece of the
rope only vibrates up and
down.

Speed of Transverse Waves on Strings
How do we determine the speed of a transverse pulse traveling on a string?
If a string under tension is pulled sideways and released, the tension is responsible for
accelerating a particular segment of the string back to the equilibrium position.
The acceleration of the

particular segment increases
Which means?
The speed of the wave increases.
Now what happens when the mass per unit length of the string increases?
For the given tension, acceleration decreases, so the wave speed decreases.
Which law does this hypothesis based on?
Based on the hypothesis we have laid out

above, we can construct a hypothetical
formula for the speed of wave
Is the above expression dimensionally sound?

Reflection and Transmission
A pulse or a wave undergoes various changes when the medium
it travels changes.
Depending on how rigid the support is, two radically different reflection
patterns can be observed.
1.
2.
The support is rigidly fixed (a): The reflected pulse will be inverted to the original
due to the force exerted on to the string by the support in reaction to the force on
the support due to the pulse on the string.
The support is freely moving (b): The reflected pulse will maintain the original
shape but moving in the reverse direction.

Transmission Through Different Media
If the boundary is intermediate between the previous two extremes,
part of the pulse reflects, and the other undergoes transmission,
passing through the boundary and propagating in the new medium.
When a wave pulse travels from medium A to B:
1. vA> vB (or A<B), the pulse is inverted upon reflection
2. vA< vB(or B), the pulse is not inverted upon reflection

Superposition Principle of Waves
If two or more traveling waves are moving through a
medium, the resultant wave function at any point is the
algebraic sum of the wave functions of the individual waves.
Superposition
Principle
The waves that follow this principle are called linear waves which in general have
small amplitudes. The ones that don’t are nonlinear waves with larger amplitudes.
