Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia is the name given to rotational inertia, the rotational analog
of mass for linear motion. It appears in the relationships for the dynamics of
rotational motion. The moment of inertia must be specified with respect to a chosen
axis of rotation. For a point mass, the moment of inertia is just the mass times the
square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr2. That point mass
relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can
be built up from a collection of point masses.

Torque

A torque is an influence which tends to change the rotational motion of an


object. One way to quantify a torque is

Torque = Force applied x lever arm

The lever arm is defined as the perpendicular distance from the axis of
rotation to the line of action of the force.

3
Rotation Vectors

Angular motion has direction


associated with it and is inherently
a vector process. But a point on a
rotating wheel is continuously
changing direction and it is
inconvenient to track that direction.
The only fixed, unique direction for
a rotating wheel is the axis of
rotation, so it is logical to choose
this axis direction as the direction
of the angular velocity. Left with two
choices about direction, it is
customary to use the right hand
rule to specify the direction of
angular quantities.

4
Conditions for Equilibrium
An object at equilibrium has no net influences to cause it to move, either in
translation (linear motion) or rotation. The basic conditions for equilibrium
are:

The conditions for equilibrium are basic to the design of any load-bearing
structure such as a bridge or a building since such structures must be able
to maintain equilibrium under load. They are also important for the study of
machines, since one must first establish equilibrium and then apply extra
force or torque to produce the desired movement of the machine. The
conditions of equilibrium are used to analyze the "simple machines" which
are the building blocks for more complex machines.

5
Angular Momentum of a Particle

The angular momentum of a particle of mass m with respect to a chosen origin


is given by
L = mvr sin θ

or more formally by the vector product


L=rxp

The direction is given by the right hand rule which would give L the direction
out of the diagram. For an orbit, angular momentum is conserved, and this
leads to one of Kepler's laws. For a circular orbit, L becomes
L = mvr

The angular momentum of a rigid object is defined as the product of


the moment of inertia and the angular velocity. It is analogous to linear
momentum and is subject to the fundamental constraints of the conservation
of angular momentum principle if there is no external torque on the object.
Angular momentum is a vector quantity. It is derivable from the expression
for the angular momentum of a particle.

Example Problems on Static Equilibrium
Example 1. Suppose one truck is parked on a bridge as shown in Figure 1.
The truck weighs 1000 lb which is acting through its center of gravity (CG).
The bridge weighs 200 lbs per feet, which is uniformly distributed. We can
assume the bridge is rigid. We want to know what will be the reaction forces
at the supports of bridge at the two ends.

Step 1: Draw Free Body Diagram (FBD) Total weight of the bridge = 200
lb/ft *75ft = 15,000 lb. Since the weight is uniformly distributed; it is acting
through the middle of the length of the bridge, ie. 75/2=37.5 ft. from left
support. R1 & R2 are the unknown reaction forces at the support. FBD for
the bridge is drawn (Figure 2) with all the known and unknown forces and
the distances between the forces.

Step 2: Apply Equilibrium Conditions (ΣFx=0; ΣFy=0;& ΣM=0):

ΣFx=0: Produces nothing as no force in x direction


ΣFy=0: 1000+15,000-R1-R2 = 0, or R1+R2 = 16,000 ………….. (1)
ΣM=0:

7
If we take moment of forces about the left support, then the forces 1000#
and 15,000# will produce a clockwise moment (positive). The force R2 will
produce a counter-clockwise (negative) moment. Thus,
ΣM=0: 1000*25+15,000*37.5-R2*75 = 0
Or,
R2 = (1000*25+15,000*37.5)/75 Or,
R2 = 7833 lb
Putting value of R2 in (1):
R1 = 16,000-7833.3 = 8167 lb
