Learning Outcomes
In this chapter, you’ll learn…
• what is meant by the torque produced by a force.
• how the net torque on an object affects the object’s
rotational motion.
• how to analyze the motion of an object that both rotates
and moves as a whole through space.
• how to solve problems that involve work and power for
rotating objects.
• how the angular momentum of an object can remain
constant even if the object changes shape.

Introduction
• These jugglers toss the pins so that they rotate in midair.
• What does it take to start a stationary object rotating or to
bring a spinning object to a halt?
• We’ll introduce some new concepts, such as torque and
angular momentum, to deepen our understanding of
rotational motion.

Loosen a Bolt
• Which of the three equal-magnitude forces in the
figure is most likely to loosen the bolt?

Torque
• The line of action of a
force is the line along which
the force vector lies.
• The lever arm for a force is
the perpendicular distance
from O to the line of action
of the force.
• The torque of a force with
respect to O is the product
of the force and its lever
arm.

Three Ways to Calculate Torque

Torque as a Vector
• Torque can be expressed as a
vector using the vector product.
• If you curl the fingers of your right
hand in the direction of the force
around the rotation axis, your
outstretched thumb points in the
direction of the torque vector.
• Video Tutor Solution: Example 10.1

Torque and Angular Acceleration for
a Rigid Body
• The rotational analog of Newton’s second law for a
rigid body is:
• Loosening or tightening
a screw requires giving it
an angular acceleration
and hence applying a
torque.

Why Only External Torques Affect a
Rigid Body's Rotation
• Any two particles in the object exert equal and
opposite forces on each other.

Problem-Solving Strategy for
Rotational Dynamics (1 of 2)
• Identify the relevant concept: You must use .
z z
I
 
 
• Set up the problem by using the following steps:
1. Sketch the situation and identify the object or objects to be
analyzed. Indicate the rotation axis.
2. For each object, draw a free-body diagram that shows the
object’s shape, including all dimensions and angles. Label
pertinent quantities with algebraic symbols.
3. Choose coordinate axes for each body and indicate a
positive sense of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise)
for each rotating object. If you know the sense of αz, pick
that as the positive sense of rotation.

Problem-Solving Strategy for
Rotational Dynamics (2 of 2)
• Execute the solution as follows:
1. For each object, decide whether it undergoes translational motion,
rotational motion, or both. Then apply Newton’s second law, ,
z z
I
 
 
or both to the object.
2. Express in algebraic form any geometrical relationships between
the motions of two or more objects. An example is a string that
unwinds, without slipping, from a pulley or a wheel that rolls
without slipping. These relationships usually appear as
relationships between linear and/or angular accelerations.
3. Ensure that you have as many independent equations as there
are unknowns. Solve the equations to find the target variables.
• Evaluate your answer.

Rigid Body Rotation About a Moving
Axis (2 of 2)

Rolling Without Slipping
• The motion of a rolling wheel is the sum of the translational
motion of the center of mass plus the rotational motion of
the wheel around the center of mass.
• The condition for rolling without slipping is cm .
v R


Combined Translation and Rotation
• Airflow around the wing of a maple seed slows the
falling seed to about 1 m/s and causes the seed to
rotate about its center of mass.

Rolling with Slipping
• The smoke rising from this drag racer’s rear tires
shows that the tires are slipping on the road, so vcm is
not equal to Rω.

Combined Translation and Rotation:
Dynamics
• The acceleration of the center of mass of a rigid body is:
• The rotational motion about the center of mass is described
by the rotational analog of Newton’s second law:
• This is true as long as the axis through the center of mass
is an axis of symmetry, and the axis does not change
direction.

Rolling Friction
• We can ignore rolling friction if both the rolling object and the
surface over which it rolls are perfectly rigid.
• If the surface or the rolling object deforms, mechanical energy
can be lost, slowing the motion.
• Video Tutor Solution: Example 10.7

Work in Rotational Motion
• A tangential force applied to a rotating object does work on it.

Work and Power in Rotational Motion
• The total work done on an object by the torque is equal to the
change in rotational kinetic energy of the object, and the power
due to a torque is:
• When a helicopter’s main rotor is
spinning at a constant rate, positive work
is done on the rotor by the engine and
negative work is done on it by air
resistance.
• Hence the net work being done is zero
and the kinetic energy remains constant.

Angular Momentum (1 of 3)
• To find the total angular
momentum of a rigid body
rotating with angular speed
ω, first consider a thin slice
of the object.
• Each particle in the slice
with mass mi has angular
momentum:
2
i i i
L m r 


• For a rigid body rotating around an axis of symmetry,
the angular momentum is:
• For any system of particles, the rate of change of the
total angular momentum equals the sum of the
torques of all forces acting on all the particles:

• The angular momentum of a rigid body rotating about
a symmetry axis is parallel to the angular velocity and
is given by .


L I

Conservation of Angular
Momentum (1 of 2)
• When the net external torque acting on a system is zero,
the total angular momentum of the system is constant
(conserved).
• Video Tutor Demonstration: Spinning Person Drops Weight

Conservation of Angular Momentum
(2 of 2)
• A falling cat twists different parts of its body in different
directions so that it lands feet first. At all times during this
process the angular momentum of the cat as a whole
remains zero.

Gyroscopes and Precession (1 of 3)
• For a gyroscope, the axis of rotation changes direction.
• The motion of this axis is called precession.

• If a flywheel is
initially not spinning,
its initial angular
momentum is zero.

• In each successive
time interval dt, the
torque produces a
change in the angular
momentum in the same
direction as the torque,
and the flywheel axis
falls.

A Rotating Flywheel (1 of 2)
• This flywheel is
initially spinning,
with a large angular
momentum.

A Rotating Flywheel (2 of 2)
• Because the initial
angular momentum is
not zero, each change
in angular momentum is
perpendicular to the
angular momentum.
• As a result, the
magnitude L remains
the same but the
angular momentum
changes its direction
continuously.
