A rope wrapped around the drum, of radius R1, enters a force T1 to the right on the cylinder. A rope warped around the core, of radius R2, enters a force T2 downward on the cylinder.

Solution:
(a) The torque due to Ti is – R1 T1. It is negative because it tends to produce a clockwise rotation from the point of view in figure. The torque due to T2 is T2 = R2 T2 and is positive because it tends to produce a counter clockwise ? Wnet W1W2 R T2 2R T1 1

TORQUE AND THE VECTOR PRODUCT:
Recall our stationary exercise bicycle from the preceding section. We caused the rotational motion of the wheel by applying forces to the pedals. When a force is exerted not pass through the pivot, the body tends to rotate about that axis. For example, when you push on a door, the door rotates about an axis through the hinges. The tendency of a force to rotate a body about some axis is measured by a vector quantity called torque. Torque is the cause of changes in rotational motion, and is analogous to force, which causes changes in translational motion. Consider the wrench pivoted about the axis through O in figure 10.11 The applied force F generally can act at an angle I with respect to the position vector r locating the point of application of the force. We define the torque W (Greek letter tau) resulting from the force F with the expression † W{r FsinI.
It is very important to recognize that torque is defined only when a reference is specified, from which the distance r is determined. We can interpret. Equation 10.18 in two different ways. Looking at the force components in figure
www.NetBadi.com
10.11, we see that the component F cos I parallel to r will not cause a rotation around the pivot point, because its line of action passes right through the pivot.
The line of action of a force is imaginary line colinear with the force vector and extending to infinity in both directions. In general, torque is a vector. For rotation about a fixed axis, however, we will use italic, non bold notation and specify the direction with a positive or a negative sing, as we did for angular speed and acceleration in Section 10.1. We will treat the vector nature of briefly in a short while.
THE RIGID BODY IN EQUILIBRIUM:
We have defined a rigid body and have discussed torque as the cause of changes in rotational motion of a rigid body: We can now establish models for a rigid body subject to torques that are analogous to those for a particle to forces. We begin by imagining a rigid body with balanced torques.
Consider two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction applied to an object s shown in figure 10.16 a. The force directed to the right tends to rotate the object clockwise about an axis perpendicular to the diagram through O, whereas the force directed to the left tends t rotate it counterclockwise about that axis. Because the forces are of equal magnitude and act at the same perpendicular distance from ), their torques are equal in magnitude. Thus, the net torque on the rigid body is zero. The situation shown in figure 10.16 b is another case in which the net torque about O is zero (although the net force on the object is not zero), and we can devise many more cases.
With no net torque, no change in rotational motion and the rotational motion of the rigid body remains in its original state. This is an equilibrium situation; analogous to translational equilibrium, discussed in Chapter 4. We now have two conditions for complete equilibrium of an object, which can be stated as follows:
The net external force must equal zero
0
F
¦
The net external torque must be zero about any axis
0 W
¦
The first condition is a statement of translational equilibrium. The second condition is a statement of rotational equilibrium. In the special of static equilibrium, the object is at rest, so that it has no translational or angular speed

The two vector expressions given by Equations 10.24 and 10.25 are equivalent, in general, to six scalar equations: three from the first condition of equilibrium, and three from the second (corresponding to x, y, and z components). Hence, in a faced with solving a set of equations with many unknowns. Here, we restrict our discussion to situations in which all the forces lie in the x, y plane. (Forces whose vector representations are in the same plane are said to be coplanar.) With this restriction, we need to deal with only three scalar equations. Two of these come from balancing the forces in the x and y directions. The third comes from the torque equation, namely, that the net torque about an axis through any point in x y plane must be zero. Hence, the two conditions of equilibrium provide the equations.

a. Is it possible for a situation to exist in which Equations 10.24 is satisfied, but Equation 10.25 is not? b. Can Equation 10.25 be satisfied, but Equation 10.24 is
In working static equilibrium problems, it is important to recognize all external forces acting on the object. Failure to do so will result in an incorrect analysis. The following procedure is recommended when analyzing an object in equilibrium under the action of several external forces:
Problem – Solving Strategy:
1. Make a sketch of the rigid body under consideration.
2. Draw a free – body diagram, and label all external forces acting on the object. Try to guess the correct direction for each force. If you select a direction that leads to a negative sign in your solution for a force, do no be alarmed; this merely means that the direction of the force is the opposite of what you guessed.
3. Resolve all forces into rectangular components, choosing a convenient coordinate system. Then apply the first condition for equilibrium, Equation 10.24. Remember to keep track of the signs of the various force components. 4. Choose a convenient axis for calculating the net torque on the rigid body. Remember that the choice of axis for the torque equation is arbitrary therefore; choose an axis that will simplify your calculation as much possible. Usually, the most convenient axis for calculating torques is one through a point at which several forces act, so that their torques around this axis is zero. If you don’t know a force or don’t need to know a force acts. Apply the second condition for equilibrium, Equation 10.25
5. Solve the simultaneous equations for the unknowns in terms of the known quantities.
Example 10.8 Standing on a Horizontal Beam :
A uniform horizontal beam of length 8.00 m and weight 200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.00 with the horizontal (Fig. 10.17 a). If a 600 – N man stands 2.00 m from the wall, find the tension in the cable and the force exerted by the wall on the beam.
Solution: The beam – man system is at rest and remains at rest, so it is clearly in static equilibrium. First we must identify all the external forces acting on the system, which we do in the free – body diagram in figure 10.17 b. These are the weights of the beam and the man, the force T exerted by the cable, the force R exerted by the wall at the pivot (the direction of this force is unknown). (The force between the man and the beam is internal to the system, so it is not included in the free – body diagram.) Notice that we have imagined the gravitational force on the beam as acting at its center of gravity. Because the beam is uniform, the center of gravity is at the geometric center. If we resolved T and R into horizontal and vertical components (Figure 10.17 c) and apply the first condition for equilibrium for the system, we have

To generate a third expression, let us invoke the condition for rotational equilibrium, because the system can be modeled as a rigid body in equilibrium. A convenient axis to choose for our torque equation is the one that passes through the pivot at the wall. The feature that makes this point so convenient is that the force R and the horizontal component of T both have a lever arm of zero, and hence zero torque, about this pivot. Recalling our convention for the sign of the torque about an axis and noting that the lever arms of the 600 – N, 200 N, and T sin 530 forces are 2.00 m, 4.00 m, and 8.00 m, respectively, we have
0 sin 53.0 8.00 600 2.00 T m N m W

200N 4.00m 0 T = 313 N.The torque equation gives us one of the unknowns directly! This is due to our judicious choice of the axis. This value is substituted into (1) and (2) to give

We divide these two equations to find
550 tan 2.93 188 N N T 0 7.1 T Finally, 0 188 188 581 cos cos 71.1 N N R N T .
If we had selected other axis for the torque equation, the results would have been the same, although the details of the solution would be some what different. For example, if we had chosen to have the axis pass through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and R. However, this equation, coupled with (1) and (2), could still be solved for the unknowns T, R and T, yielding the same results. Try it!
Example 10.9 The Leaning Ladder:
A uniform ladder of length l and mass m against a smooth, vertical wall (Fig. 10.18 a). If the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground is Ps 0.40, find the minimum angle Tmin such that the ladder does not slip.
www.NetBadi.com
Solution: The ladder is at rest and remains at rest, so we model it as a rigid body in equilibrium. The free – body diagram showing all the external forces acting on the ladder is illustrated in Figure 10.18 b. The reaction R exerted by the ground on the ladder is the vector sum of a normal force n and the force of static friction f. The reaction force P exerted by the wall on the ladder is horizontal, because the wall is smooth, meaning that it is frictionless: Thus, P is simply the normal force on the ladder from the wall. From the first condition of equilibrium applied to the ladder, we have
0 x F f P

We see from the second equation that n = mg. Further moment when the ladder is on the verge of slipping, the force of friction must be a maximum, given fs, max Psn. The find T, we use the second condition of equilibrium. When the torques are taken about the origin O at the bottom of the ladder, we have

Notes:
1. On tilting, a body will restore its initial position due to torque of weight about the point O hill the line of action of weight passes through its base. On tilting, a body will topple due to torque of weight about 0, if the line of action of weight does not pass through its base. This is self evident from Figures

2. In many situations an external force is applied to a body cause if to slide along a surface. In certain cases, the body may tip over before sliding ensues; show the criteria that may be used to predict whether sliding or tipping occurs.
Solution: Fig (a) shows a body which rests on a horizontal plane. The weight of the body is W and it has the dimensions 2b and h, P is the coefficient of friction. A force U, at a distance c above the plane, is applied to the body.. Three figures
The free body diagram of the body is shown in figure (b). The normal reaction force N is assumed to act at distance of d to the right of the line of action of the weight W. For this first case, the body is assumed not to slide.

As the force P is applied at larger values of h, the location of the line of action of the normal force N moves to the right. A limiting condition occurs when d = b. For this case the normal force acts at the right – hand edge of the body. The body is in a condition of impending tipping motion about the right hand corner, and the corresponding value of C is desegregated as Cman.

The force P is then formed to be

P ……… (3).
The result in the above equation is independent of the weight W and height h of the body, and of the applied force P, and is a function only of the dimension b and the coefficient of friction.
From Equation (3) it is seen that if we have a block of such proportions that b/h > m, the block will slide before overturning, regardless of the point of application of the horizontal force P.
The five possible district regious of motion are:
1. C < Cman U P w; Neither tipping nor sliding occurs, and the body remains at rest. 2. C < Cman, U Pw. The body does not tip, and sliding motion is impending.
3. C < Cman U Pw; The body does not tip but sliding motion occurs.
4. C = Cman, U Pw; Both sliding and tipping motion are impending simultaneously..
5. C > Cman : The body will tip over for any value of P, with one or the other of the following conditions. If
w U Pt
or U Pd w, the on set of tipping motion will occur with the tipping edge remaining stationary with respect to the
surface. Otherwise with

Rigid Body under a net torque:
In the preceding section, we investigated the equilibrium situation in which the net torque on a rigid body is zero. What if the net torque on a rigid body is not zero? In analogy with Newton’s second law for translational motion, we should expect the angular speed of the rigid body to change. The net torque will cause angular acceleration of the rigid body.
Let us imagine a rotating rigid body again as a collection of particles. The rigid body will be subject to a number of forces applied at various locations on the rigid body, at which individual particles will be located. Thus, we can imagine that the forces on the rigid body are exerted on individual particles of the rigid body object due to the torques resulting from of these forces around the rotation axis of the rotating body. Any applied force can be represented by its radial component and its tangential component. The radial component for an applied force provides t\no torque because its line of action goes tangential component of an applied force contributes to the torque.
On any given particle, described by index variable i , within the rigid body, we can use Newton’s second law to describe the tangential acceleration of the particle;

The left side is the net torque on all particles of the rigid body. The net torque associated with internal forces is zero, however. To understand this, recall that Newton’s third law tells us that the internal force occur in equal and opposite pairs that lie along the line of separation of each pair of the particles. The torque due to each action

Problem 22: A light thread with a body of mass m tied to its end is wound on a uniform solid cylinder of mass M and radius R (fig 42). At a moment t = 0, the system is set in motion. Assuming the friction in the axle of the cylinder to be negligible, find the time dependence of (a) the angular velocity of the cylinder.
Solution: (a) Because the system is released from rest hence u = 0 at t = 0. According to free body diagram shown in figure 43, we have
mg = T = ma ………… (1) figure
Where a represents the downward acceleration of the system and T the tension in the thread. If I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder about an axis passing through its centre and D , the angular acceleration produced in it, then

Problem 23: A wheel of radius r and moment of a inertia I about its axis is fixed at the top of an inclined plane of inclination T (Fig 44). A string is wrapped round the wheel and its free end supports a block of mass M which can slide on the plane. Initially, the wheel is rotating at a speed Z in a direction such that the block slides up the plane. How far will the block move before stopping? Figure
www.NetBadi.com
www.NetBadi.comSolution: As the block moves up, it goes on decelerating learning continuously due to net force on it acting down the plane. If a be the deceleration of the block, then the linear deceleration of the rim of wheel is also equal to a but angular deceleration of the wheel is D = a/r..
Now, if T is the tension in the sting, then equations of motion are :

Solution: (a) When the reel unrolls itself under the action of gravity, the downward force due to gravity Mg, must exceed the upward force i.e., tension T of the thread. Hence, if a is the tangential acceleration of a point on the rim of reel, Newton’s second law of motion yields
Mg – T = Ma ………… (1)
The resultant torque on the reel is TR, so that from W ID we get

30.14 Motion of Two Bodies Connected By a String and Passing Over a Pulley:
Consider two bodies connected by an inextensible light string and passing over a simple pulley as shown in figure. 30.10
Let m1 and m2 = Masses of the two bodies in kg (such that their weights are m1.g and m2.g in Newton’s)
Let m1 be greater than m2. A little consideration will show that the greater mass m1 will move downwards, whereas the smaller one will move upwards.
Let a = Acceleration of the two bodies, P1 and P2 = Pulls in the string in Newton’s
D = Angular acceleration of the pulley,, r = Radius of the pulley,
M = Mass of the pulley,

First of all, consider the motion of body 1 of mass m1 kg, which is coming down. We know that the forces acting on it are m1 g Newton’s (downwards) and P1 Newton’s (upwards). As the body is moving downwards, therefore, resultant force

Since the body is moving downwards with an acceleration (a) therefore force acting on it.

Equating equations (i) and (ii),

Now consider the motion of body 2 of mass m2 kg, which is going upwards. We know that the forces acting on it are m2.g Newton’s (downwards) and P2 Newton’s (upwards). As the body in moving upwards, therefore, resultant force
= P2 – m2.g Newton’s
Since the body is moving upwards with an acceleration (a) therefore force acting on it
= m2.a ………….. (v)
Equating equations (iv) and (v). P2 – m2.g = m2. a
Now consider motion of the pulley, which is rotating about its axis due to downward motion of the body of mass m1 tied to the string. We know that linear acceleration of the body 1 is equal to the angular acceleration of the pulley.

Problem 42: In the arrangement shown in figure 59, the mass of the uniform solid cylinder of radius R is equal to m and the masses of the two bodies are equal to m1 and m2. The thread slipping and the friction in the axle of the cylinder are supposed to be absent. Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder and the ratio of tensions T1/T2 of the vertical sections of the thread in the process of motion.

Problem 43: In the system shown in figure 61, the masses of the two bodies are m1 and m2, the coefficient of friction between the body m1 and the horizontal plane is equal to P, and a pulley of mass m is assumed to be a uniform disc. The thread does not slip over the pulley. At the moment t = 0 the body m2 starts descending. Assuming

the mass of the thread and the friction in the axle of the pulley to be negligible, calculate the work performed by the frictional forces acting on the body m1 over the first t second after the beginning of the motion.

Example 30.14 Two bodies A and B of mass 150 kg and 75 kg respectively are supported by a string of negligible mass and pass over a composite pulley. The bodies rest on two smooth inclined planes as shown in figure 30.13.
If the pulley has a mass of 75 kg and radius of gyration of 100 mm, find the accelerations of the masses A and B pulls in the strings. Naglet friction in the bearings.
Solution: Given; m1 = 150 kg; m2 = 75 kg; M = 75 kg; k = 100 mm = 0.1 m; r1 = 250 mm = 0.25 m; r2 = 125 mm = 0.125 m.
Pulls in the strings
Let P1 = Pull in the string carrying 150 kg mass, and P2 = Pull in the string carrying 75 kg mass.
www.NetBadi.com
www.NetBadi.comFrom the geometry of the masses, we find that the turning moment of mass 150 kg (i.e., 150 sin 450 u 0.25 = 150 u 0.707 u 0.25 = 26.5 kg – m). It is thus obvious that the 150 kg mass will come downwards and the 75 kg mass will go upwards, when the system is released.
Example 30.13: Two masses of 30 kg and 10 kg are tied to the two ends of a light string passing over a
composite pulley of radius of gyrations as 70 mm and mass 4 kg as shown in figure 30.12 Find the pulls in the two parts of the string and the angular acceleration of the pulley.
Solution: Given: m1 = 30 kg; m2 = 10 kg; k = 70 mm = 0.07 m; M == 4 kg; d1 = 100 mm = 0.1 m or r1 = 0.05 m; Angular acceleration of the pulley
Let P1 = Pull in the string carrying 30 kg mass, P2 = Pull in string carrying 10 kg mass, and
D = Angular acceleration of the body..
From the geometry of the masses, we find that turning moment of the mass 30 kg (i.e., 30 u 0.05 = 1.5 kg – m) is more than that of the mass 10 kg (i.e., 10 u 0.1 = 1 kg – m). It is thus obvious, that the 30 kg mass will come downwards and the 10 kg mass will go upwards, when the system is released.
Substituting the value of P1 in equation (iii)
1039 – (0.5 P2 + 3D ) = 150 a1 = 150 u 0.25 D 1039 – 0.5 P2 - 3D = 37.5 D

The thin plate ABCD of mass 8 kg is held in the position shown by the wire BH and two links AE and DF. Neglecting the mass of the links, determine immediately after wire BH has been cut (a) the acceleration of the plate, (b) the force in each link.
SOLUTION:
Kinematics of Motion: After wire BH has been cut, we observe that corners A and D move along parallel circles of radius 150 mm centered, respectively, at E and F. The motion of the plate is thus a curvilinear translation; the particles forming the plate move along parallel circles of radius 150 mm.
At the instant wire BH is cut, the velocity of the plate is zero. Thus the acceleration a& of the mass center G of the plate is tangent to the circular path which will be described by G.
Equations of Motion: The external forces consist of the weight W and the forces FAE, and FDF exerted by the links. Since the plate is in translation, the effective farces reduce to the vector m a
&
attached at G and directed along the t axis. A free-body-diagram equation is drawn to show that the system of the external forces is equivalent to the system of the effective forces.

Noting that W = mg = (8 kg) (9.81 m/s2) = 78.48 N, we have FAE = 0.6109 (78.48 N) FAE = 47.9 N T
FDF = - 0.1109 (78.48 N) FDF = 8.70 N C.

Example 11:
Find the angular acceleration of the rod given in example 4 at the moment.
a. When it is released from rest in the horizontal position; b. When it makes an angle T with the horizontal.
Solution: After the moment when the rod is released from the rest in the horizontal position, it would rotate in the vertical plane about a horizontal axis passing through the hinge and perpendicular the length of the rod. Initial angular velocity of the rod is zero but due to non zero torque of gravity it has some angular acceleration and hence, it will acquire some angular speed as it rotates. As discussed in example 4, the hinge force does not provide any torque about the axis under consideration and the weight of the rod tries to rotate it in the clockwise sense, i.e., it provides a torque perpendicular, inward to the plane of the paper. An approach using r F&u)&to find the torque would also give the same result. Hence, angular acceleration of the rod,

The subsequent motion of the center of mass of the rod is a nouniform circular notice on the vertical circular path of radius l/2 with the centre at the hinge, as suggested in the figure.

Example 15: If the disc given in example 5 has mass M and it is free to rotated about its symmetrical axis passing through O, find its angular acceleration.
Solution: If D be the angular acceleration of the disc, using *net ID , we have,
net I D * 2 3 / 2 F R MR 6 F MR.
As the net torque is in clockwise sense, D has the same sense of rotation.
Example 16: A uniform disc of radius 0.l2 m and mass 5 kg is pivoted so that it rotates freely about its axis. A thin, mass less and inextensible sting wrapped around the disc is pulled with a force of 20 N, as shown in figure 7.42(a). (a) What is the torque exerted on the disc about its axis?
(b) What is the angular acceleration of the disc?
(c) If the disc starts from rest, what is the angular velocity after 3 s?
Solution: It is obvious that the string force gives a torque to the disc in the clockwise direction. As the torque given by the force from the axle is zero. Net torque on the disc is,

Example 17: A uniform disc of radius R and mass M is mounted on an axis supported in fixed frictionless bearing. A light string is wrapped around the rim of the disc and a body of mass m is supported by the strings, as shown in figure 7.43 (a).
a. Find the angular acceleration of the disc;
b. Find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of the point on the rim where the string separates from the rim.
c. If the system is released from rest at t = 0, find the speed of the block at some time t (> 0).
Solution: Analyze the situation according to the information provided in the figure 7.43 (b). You should also note the following points:
· Only tension force of the siring, T, produces a torque on the disc about its centre 0. Torque of the weight of the disc and that of the reaction force from the bearing are zero about 0.
· If D be the angular acceleration of the disc (in the clockwise direction) then the point P on the disc has a tangential acceleration D R in the vertically downward direction at the moment shown in figure. The string unwinds at the same acceleration and the block has the same acceleration in the vertically downward direction. Therefore, if a be the acceleration of the block, then,
a = DR ………… (i)

Example 18: Find the acceleration of m1 and m2 in an Atwood’s Machine, shown in figure 7.44 (a), if there is friction present between the surface of pulley and the thread does not slip over the surface of the pulley. Moment of inertia of the pulley about its symmetrical axis is I and its radius is R. The pulley can rotate freely about its symmetrical axis.
Solution: Due to friction between the pulley and the thread tensions in the parts of the thread on the two sides of the pulley are different. Let that in the right part it is T1 and that in the left part is T2, as shown in figure 7.44 (b).Forces acting on the two blocks and the pulley are also shown in figure 7.44(b). Force on the pulley from the support and its weight are not shown because they do not produce torque on the pulley about its symmetrical axis of rotation. If the block m1 comes down with an acceleration a then m2 would go up with the same acceleration because they are connected by the same string, as shown in the same figure.7.44(b).
If we assume that the pulley gets an angular acceleration in the clockwise sense then the torque of T1 would be positive and that of T2 would be negative, as suggested in figure 7.44(c).
Again, as any point on the rim of the pulley has a tangential acceleration DR, the block m1 comes down and the block m2 goes w with the same acceleration, as shown in figure 7.44(d).
Therefore, we can write,
A = D R ……….. (i)
Using Fnet = ma for the two blocks, we have,
m1 g – T1 = m1 a ……….. (ii) [For m1] T2 – m2 g = m2 a ……….. (iii) [For m2]
Using *net ID for the pulley, we have,

Example 19: A thin uniform rod AB of mass m = 1.0kg moves translationally with acceleration a = 2.0 rn/s2 due to two anti parallel force F1 and F2 acting on it perpendicular to its length, as shown in figure 7.45. The distance between the points at which these forces are applied is x = 20 cm. Besides, it is known that F2 = 5.0 N. Find the length of the rod.

www.NetBadi.comSolution: Before analyzing the details of the given situation, let us analyze the rotational effect of two anti parallel forces. Consider the situations shown in figure 7.45.
If we analyze the torques of the two forces about every point in their plane containing them, then, we arrive at the conclusion that if the point lies between the lines of action of F1 and F2 then torques of the forces about that point add up together otherwise they are in opposite directions.
If the magnitudes of the two forces are equal then such a pair is called as a couple. If the magnitude of each force is F and the distance between their lines of application is d, then, the net torque about any point in their plane is F. d, asshowninfigure7.47.

Now, let us discuss the given case. As the rod is in pure translation motion, net torque on it about any point must be zero. Therefore, the centre of mass of rod can not lie between the lines of action of the forces because in
that case torques produced by then about the centre of mass do not cancel each other.
Let us assume that the centre of mass of the rod lies at a distance y away from the line of action of F2 as shown in figure 4.48. As the rod translates towards right, F2 must have a greater magnitude thanF1.
Using Fnet = ma, we have F2 – F1 = ma 1 2 F F ma 5 1 2 N u = 3 N.
Again, as the net torque on the rod about C must be zero,
