Let’s consider a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis
Each particle of the object rotates in the xy plane about the z-axis
at the same angular speed, w

Thus the net external torque acting on a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis is equal to the moment
of inertia about that axis multiplied by the object’s angular acceleration with respect to that axis.

Example for Rigid Body Angular Momentum
A rigid rod of mass M and length l is pivoted without friction at its center. Two particles of mass
m1 and m2 are attached to either end of the rod. The combination rotates on a vertical plane with
an angular speed of w. Find an expression for the magnitude of the angular momentum.

Find an expression for the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the
system when the rod makes an angle  with the horizon.
If m1 = m2, no angular
momentum because net
torque is 0.
If +/-p/2, at equilibrium
so no angular momentum.

Example for Angular Momentum Conservation
A star rotates with a period of 30 days about an axis through its center. After the star
undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 1.0x104km, collapses
into a neutron star of radius 3.0km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star.
What is your guess about the answer?
Let’s make some assumptions:
The period will be significantly shorter,
because its radius got smaller.
1. There is no external torque acting on it
2. The shape remains spherical
3. Its mass remains constant

Conditions for Equilibrium
What do you think the term “An object is at its equilibrium” means?
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
translational equilibrium. However for object with size this is not
sufficient. One more condition is needed. What is it?
Let’s consider two forces equal magnitude but in opposite direction acting
on a rigid object as shown in the figure. What do you think will happen?
F

F  0
CM

The object will rotate about the CM. The net torque
 0
acting on the object about any axis must be 0.
For an object to be at its static equilibrium, the object should not
have linear or angular speed. vCM  0 w  0

More on Conditions for Equilibrium
To simplify the problem, we will only deal with forces acting on x-y plane, giving torque
only along z-axis. What do you think the conditions for equilibrium be in this case?
The six possible equations from the two vector equations turns to three equations.

What happens if there are many forces exerting on the object?
If an object is at its translational static equilibrium,
and if the net torque acting on the object is 0
about one axis, the net torque must be 0 about
r’
O

any arbitrary axis.
Why is this true?
Because the object is not moving, no matter what
the rotational axis is, there should not be in motion.

uniform and has mass 12.0kg. Assuming the wall is frictionless (but ground is not),
determine the forces exerted on the ladder by the ground and the wall.

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.
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 
