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

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.

Angular Momentum of a Particle
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

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.

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

C. ar2
D. None of the mentioned
