quiz 2 Flashcards
where does rotation occurs
around center of gravity
what is the name of the turning effected produced by a force
a torque
torque depend on
magnitude of external force applies + moment arm
what is a moment arm
distance btw axis of rotation and the line of action of the applied force
what is a centric force + what does it produce
An external force applied directly to the center of gravity + change in linear motion
what is a eccentric force + what does it produce
An external force not directly applied directly through the center of gravity + produce change in linear motion and angular motion
if my moment arm is smaller what does it do to the torque for a same force applied
the torque will be smaller for a same force applied
counterwise rotation = positive or negative
positive
if the net force = 0 will there be a change in linear motion
no, only angular motion
what do we need to have if we want to ensure that there is no angular motion
a net torque= 0
if we want an object to be in static equilibrium what do we need
net torque + force = 0
define center of gravity
point around which all torque sum = 0
what is the angular positon
distance from origin (radius) and angle form btw reference axis and line formed by connecting the point to the origin
what is relative angular position
the reference axis can move
what is absolute angular position
reference axis can’t move
