  ROTATION   Awaiting Review for Nickels
Tagged with:    [Post New]posted on 24 Feb 2008 12:13:23 IST    
1.MOMENT OF INERTIA
(a)    CALCULATION OF MOMENT OF INERTIA BY DIGITS:
         
      M.I about an axis of symmetry is     [M] mass  *   the sum of squares of                                                                                          perpendicular semi axis
                                                            ______________________________
                                                                              N
where N = 3 --- for rectangular body
                4 --- for elliptical (including circular)
                5 --- for ellipsoidal (including spherical)
ex- for ellipse
      Iz  = M/4  ( a2 + b2 )

(b) The sum of moment of masses about its centre of mass is always  zero.

(c)  Rolling motion  on an inclined plane :
         velocity        v = [2gs] / [  1+K2 / R2  ].
        acceleration  a = gsin / [ 1 + K2 / R2 ].
         Where, s = distance of inclined plane
                     K = radius of gyration
                     R =  radius of symmetrical body
(d) Angular velocity of a point whose motion  is in a plane:
     r2d/dt = 2v * p
     where p = perpendicular from the point O upon the tangent at P to the path          of the moving particle.     
                       
(e) The large moment of inertia helps keeping the motion uniform.
 
(f) If a number of torques acted on  a system and the system is in rotational            equilibrium, then  clockwise torque = anticlockwise torque.


2.ROLLING MOTION ON A  INCLINED PLANE

      mgh = 1/2mv2 [1 + I/mr2 ]
             
t = 1/sin 2h [ 1 + I / mr2 ] / g

I = moment of inertia
  therefore two bodies of the same shape but of different  masses and radii reach the bottom at the same time.

actually ... this article turns out to be very gud 1.....cos
its hndwritten and also includes facts that we generally neglect in rotation............
very nice.....try 2 include some more observations tricky ones....
