Statics and Torque
- Torque is defined as force x distance
o Tirque moving in clockwise, negative
o Counterclockwise, positive
o Torque changes angular velocity
o The harder you pull, the more torque is
generated and more change in angular
velocity
o The amount of force affects torque and the
placement of force
o Angle between applied force and radius
ā–Ŗ Ļ„ = rāŠ„ F
ā–Ŗ Ļ„Net = a(I)
ā€¢ Angular acceleration (Inertia)
o Moment of Inertia = āˆ‘m(r2)
ā–Ŗ Mass(Distance of mass from axis of rotation2)
ā€¢ Further the mass, the higher the objects moment of inertia
o Torque has the ability to do force
- The first condition for Equilibrium
o The first condition necessary to achieve equilibrium is ā€œthe net external force for
the system must be zero
ā–Ŗ Net F = 0
o If Net F is zero, then the external force in any direction is zero
- The second condition for Equilibrium
o Achieve equilibrium involves avoiding accelerated rotation. A rotation body or
system can be in equilibrium if its rate of rotation is constant and remains
unchanged by the forces acting on it
o Torque is the turning or twisting of a force
ā–Ŗ Torque, has both magnitude and direction
ā€¢ Counterclockwise torque is produced by this force, the door will
rotate in a counterclockwise due to F
ā–Ŗ Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force.
ā€¢ It is a measure of the effectiveness of a force in changing or
accelerating a rotation
o Ļ„ = rF SinĪø
ā–Ŗ Ļ„ is the symbol for torque
ā–Ŗ r is the distance from the pivot point to the point of
force
ā–Ŗ F is the magnitude of the force
ā–Ŗ Ī˜ is the angle between the force and the vector
directed from the point of application to the pivot
point
o rāŠ„ = r sinĪø
ā–Ŗ rāŠ„ is the name of perpendicular lever arm
