  1. Chapter 11 Angular Momentum

  2. The Vector Product and Torque • The torque vector lies in a direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the position vector and the force vector • The torque is the vector (or cross) product of the position vector and the force vector

  3. Torque Vector Example • Given the force and location • Find the torque produced

  4. Angular Momentum • Consider a particle of mass mlocated at the vector position and moving with linear momentum • Find the net torque

  5. Angular Momentum • The instantaneous angular momentum of a particle relative to the origin O is defined as the cross product of the particle’s instantaneous position vector and its instantaneous linear momentum

  6. Torque and Angular Momentum • The torque is related to the angular momentum • Similar to the way force is related to linear momentum • The torque acting on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the particle’s angular momentum • This is the rotational analog of Newton’s Second Law • must be measured about the same origin

  7. Angular Momentum • The SI units of angular momentum are (kg.m2)/ s • Both the magnitude and direction of the angular momentum depend on the choice of origin • The magnitude is L = mvrsinf • fis the angle between and • The direction of is perpendicular to the plane formed by and

  8. Angular Momentum of a Particle, Example • The vector is pointed out of the diagram • The magnitude is L = mvr sin 90o = mvr • sin 90o is used sincev is perpendicular to r • A particle in uniform circular motion has a constant angular momentum about an axis through the center of its path

  9. Angular Momentum of a System of Particles • The total angular momentum of a system of particles is defined as the vector sum of the angular momenta of the individual particles • Differentiating with respect to time

  10. Angular Momentum of a System of Particles • Any torques associated with the internal forces acting in a system of particles are zero • Therefore, • The net external torque acting on a system about some axis passing through an origin in an inertial frame equals the time rate of change of the total angular momentum of the system about that origin

  11. Angular Momentum of a System of Particles • The resultant torque acting on a system about an axis through the center of mass equals the time rate of change of angular momentum of the system regardless of the motion of the center of mass • This applies even if the center of mass is accelerating, provided are evaluated relative to the center of mass

  12. System of Objects, Example • The masses are connected by a light cord that passes over a pulley; find the linear acceleration • Conceptualize • The sphere falls, the pulley rotates and the block slides • Use angular momentum approach

  13. System of Objects, Example • Categorize • The block, pulley and sphere are a nonisolated system • Use an axis that corresponds to the axle of the pulley • Analyze • At any instant of time, the sphere and the block have a common velocity v • Write expressions for the total angular momentum and the net external torque

  14. System of Objects, Example • Solve the expression for the linear acceleration • The system as a whole was analyzed so that internal forces could be ignored • Only external forces are needed

  15. Angular Momentum of a Rotating Rigid Object • Each particle of the object rotates in the xy plane about the zaxis with an angular speed of w • The angular momentum of an individual particle is Li = mi ri2w • and are directed along the z axis

  16. Angular Momentum of a Rotating Rigid Object • To find the angular momentum of the entire object, add the angular momenta of all the individual particles • This also gives the rotational form of Newton’s Second Law

  17. Angular Momentum of a Rotating Rigid Object • The rotational form of Newton’s Second Law is also valid for a rigid object rotating about a moving axis provided the moving axis: (1) passes through the center of mass (2) is a symmetry axis • If a symmetrical object rotates about a fixed axis passing through its center of mass, the vector form holds: • where is the total angular momentum measured with respect to the axis of rotation

  18. Angular Momentum of a Bowling Ball • The momentum of inertia of the ball is 2/5MR 2 • The angular momentum of the ball is Lz = Iw • The direction of the angular momentum is in the positivezdirection

  19. Conservation of Angular Momentum • The total angular momentum of a system is constant in both magnitude and direction if the resultant external torque acting on the system is zero • Net torque = 0 -> means that the system is isolated • For a system of particles,

  20. Conservation of Angular Momentum • If the mass of an isolated system undergoes redistribution, the moment of inertia changes • The conservation of angular momentum requires a compensating change in the angular velocity • Iiwi = Ifwf = constant • This holds for rotation about a fixed axis and for rotation about an axis through the center of mass of a moving system • The net torque must be zero in any case

  21. Conservation Law Summary • For an isolated system - (1) Conservation of Energy: • Ei = Ef (2) Conservation of Linear Momentum: (3) Conservation of Angular Momentum:

  27. A wad of sticky clay with mass m and velocity viis fired at a solid cylinder of mass Mand radius R.

(b) Find the fractional loss in kinetic energy from the time the disk is released until pure rolling occurs. (Hint: Consider torques about the center of mass.)

  30. Conservation of Angular Momentum:The Merry-Go-Round • The moment of inertia of the system is the moment of inertia of the platform plus the moment of inertia of the person • Assume the person can be treated as a particle • As the person moves toward the center of the rotating platform, the angular speed will increase • To keep the angular momentum constant
