Axis of Rotation:
Some bodies cannot move from place to place but they can rotate about a fixed line or axis,
called its axis of rotation.
Moment Arm (or) Arm of Force:
The perpendicular distance from axis of rotation to the line of action of the force is called
moment arm (or) arm of force.
Torque
Torque is the turning effect of a force produced in a body about a certain axis of rotation.
Torque is a vector quantity. It is also defined as;
It is the cross product of position vector “7” and force "F".
t=?xF
The magnitude of torque is given by:
t=rFsin®
Where “@” is the angle between the position vector “r” and force ape,
Magnitude of torque “r” is maximum when @ = 90 or?’ is perpendicular to F.
t=rFsin90
t=F
Torque produced ina body is zero when force “B" and position vector “7” are parallel to each.
other i.e. @ = 0 or when the line of action of force passes through the axis of rotation.
t=rFsin0
t=0
When line of action of a force passes through the axis of rotation the component of “7”
perpendicular to force “F”(also called moment arm) is zero due to which its turning effect “2”
will be zero.
Direction of Torque:
Direction of torque can be determined by the “Right Hand Rule”. Its direction Is perpendicular
to the plane containing “7” and “F”.
Sign Convention:
Torque which produces clockwise rotation are negative whereas those producing ant-clockwise
rotation are positive.

Explanation of torque: we aus
Consider a body of mass “m” whose position with respect to the origin of a Co-ordinate system
is given bya position vector "?”. Let a force “PY be applied on it which makes a certain angle
"9" with“, “F" can be resolved into two component F,and A, such that,
Fy = Feos? (in the direction of 7)
F, = Fsin@ (. to the direction of )
Fy = Feos8
+ Fy = Psind
Ifthe body is free then ; will produce linear motion in itwhereas, F, can produce turning
about point “0”. hence, 2 torque is produced only by F, and is given by:
tark
1S PPSHND oem)
IFinstead of resolving F into its components, 7 is resolved, 7, = rsin8 will be the
perpendicular distance between the line of action of force and the axis of rotation. In this case,
the magnitude of torque is given by:
1 = F(rsin#).. ti)
Where “rsin” is the component of ?* perpendicular toF itis also known as moment arm.
Hence,
Torque = (Force)(moment arm)
Hence torque is the product of force and moment arm.
From eq{i) and eq(il), we can write as;

Two Like Parallel Fore
If two forces have the same direction, they are called like parallel forces,
Two Unlike Parallel Forces:
If two parallel forces have oppasite direction, they are called unlike parallel forces.
Resultant of Two Like Parallel Forces:
The resultant of two like parallel forces is a force whose magnitude is equal to the sum of the
magnitudes of the two forces and the direction is the same as either of the forces.
If B is the resultant of é, and RB, then:
Resultant of Two Unlike Parallel Forces:
The resultant of two unlike parallel forces is a force whose magnitude is equal to the difference
of the magnitudes of the two forces and the direction is the same as that of the greater force.

Centre of Mass
Centre of mass of a body or a system of particles is a point at which all the mass is thought to

Thus centre of mass maves in the same way as a single particle would move under the action of
some forces.
i
Centre of mass may not always lie within the material of the object eg. Centre of mass of a ring
is in air.
In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of mass of an object coincides with the centre of
gravity.
When an object extends to great height so that the gravitational field is not uniform then the
centre of mass and centre of gravity do not coincide,
Location of Centre of Mass:
Suppose mi,mz2,. in are the masses of particles and x1,X,.....Xn are distances along x-axis

A body is said to be in equilibrium if it is at rest or moves with uniform velocity.
Static Equilibrium:
a body at rest is said to be in static equilibrium.
Dynamic Equilibrium:
A body moving with uniform velocity is said to be in dynamic equilibrium.
Examples:
Motion of paratrooper, motion af a small steel ball through a viscous medium (e.g. oil}.
Translational Equilibrium:
A body at rest or moving with uniform linear velocity is said to be in translational equilibrium.
A body satisfying the first condition of equilibrium will be in translational equilibrium, and its
linear acceleration will be zero. (i.e. a=0)
Rotational Equilibrium:
A body rotating with constant angular velocity or having zero angular acceleration is sald to be
In rotational equilibrium.
A body satisfying the second condition of equilibrium will be in rotational equilibrium, its
angular acceleration will be zero. (i.e. a=0).
Examples of Static Equilibrium:
Following are some examples of static equilibrium.

Examples of Dynamic Equilibrium:
Following are some examples of dynamic equilibrium,
1) Aparatrooper falling with uniform velocity.
2) Acar moving on a road with uniform velocity.
3) Asmali metallic ball moving with constant velocity in a viscous liquid (e.g. oil).
Explanation of Static Equilibrium:
Consider a book of weight “W”, lying on a table.
There are two forces acting on the book, One is the force of gravity acting downward and other
is the reaction of the table acting upward.
As the book is at rest, therefore both the forces cancel the effect of each other and the book is
in static equilibrium.
Explanation of Dynamic Equilibrium:
Consider a jumping of a paratrooper from an aeroplan. After jumping from aeroplan, the
parachute is not opened for some time, During this period the paratroaper falls freely
downward with an acceleration due to gravity of earth. On opening the parachute, his
acceleration will start decreasing due to the reaction of the air acting upward on the parachute.
This reaction depends upon the velocity of the parachute. When this velocity decreases the
reaction of air will also decrease. Ata particular velocity the reaction of air on parachute
becomes equal to the weight of the paratrooper. At this stage both the forces cancel the effect
of each other and the paratrooper falls down with a unifarm velocity, called terminal velocity
and he isin dynamic equilibrium,
Conditions of Equiibr

A body isin translational equilibrium if the vector sum of all the forces acting upon'it is equal to
zero. First condition of equilibrium is expressed as;

Note that F, and Fy are the magnitudes of the components of resultant force. The body will be
in equilibrium if the resultant force is zero. In that case;

Fig tha tit Ry =O and Fy + Fay tet Ry =0
We may write as;
yirso and YF = 0
ie, the algebraic sum of x-components and y-components of all the forces is equal to zero.
When a body satisfies first condition of equilibrium the net force acting on it will be zero and
according to Newton's second law of motion its linear acceleration will also be zero, Hence it
will be either at rest or move with uniform linear velocity.
Second Condition of Equilibriu
According to second condition of equilibrium:
“The algebraic sum of all the torques acting on a body about any axis must be zero”. ie.
Yreo
Or “The clockwise tarque must be equal to anti-clockwise torque”,
Explanation:
A body satisfying first condition of equilibrium may not be in a state of complete equilibrium.
This happens when line of action of forces is different under this condition the body will have
rotational acceleration. Far rotational motion second condition of equilibrium must be satisfied
so that the body either remains at rest or rotates with unifarm angular velocity.
A body satisfying second condition will be in rotational equilibrium.
For complete equilibrium a body must satisfy both the conditions hence for a body to be in
complete equilibrium.

Angular momentum is a vector quantity, its magnitude is given by:
= mrvsing
Where “8” is the angle between position vector “?” and linear velocity “* of the particle.
Direction of angula 1 momentum is determined by right hand rule. The direction of angular
momentum is always perpendicular to the plane formed by vectors # and ¥ {orby #and p).
Ifthe point is moving along a circular path its axis of rotation lies at the centre of the circle and
its position vector "?” is taken with respect to centre of the circle, Since linear velocity is
directed along the tangent to the circle, hence linear momentum “j” of the particle will also be
along the tangent to the circular path. In other words “7” and “p” are perpendicular to each
other. Hence if a particle is moving along a circular path the magnitude of its angular moment is
given by:
! vr sin30
5.1 unit of angular momentum is Joule-second (!-s) or Kg.m’/s.
Determinant Form For Angular Momentum:
Like cross product of any two vector, angular momentum can also be written in determinant
form. Hence if x, y and zare the coordinates of position vector "7? (rectangular components af
position vector are called its coordinates}, p:, py and p, are the camponents of its linear
momentum, then in determinant form angular momentum is given by:
