  1. Torque F ℓ • τ = F·ℓ • F and ℓ must be perpendicular. • Units: N*m (enter them this way into computer) Axis

  2. A board is placed in a support. F1 and F2 push down on the board. If the board stays stationary, how do the forces compare? (1) F1 > F2 (2) F1 = F2 (3) F1 < F2 F1 F2 Support (fulcrum)

  3. Clicker! Which of the following forces provides the greatest torque about the given axis? (the black dot represents the axis of rotation) 2F 2F F ℓ 1.5ℓ 2.5ℓ A C B (1) A (2) B (3) C (4) All the same. |τA| = 2F*1.5ℓ = 3F*ℓ |τB| = 2F*ℓ = 2F*ℓ |τC| = F*2.5ℓ = 2.5F*ℓ

  4. Clicker! Which of the following signs (+ or -) are true? 2F 2F F ℓ 1.5ℓ 2.5ℓ A C B • - tA , - tB , + tC • + tA , - tB , - tC • - tA , + tB , + tC τA : CW (-) τA : CCW (+) τA : CCW (+) Sign Convention: (+) for CCW rotation; (-) for CW

  5. Class 1 Lever – Fulcrum between input effort and output load Levers Small force with long lever arm can exert large force with short level arm • Pliers • Catapult • Oars • Crowbar • Seesaw

  6. Equilibrium • Equilibrium – Accel = 0 • Static Equilibrium – Accel = 0 AND velocity=0 • Stationary What happens? What happens?

  7. Example.A uniform board of 10 m is supported at the center. If a person (80 kg mass) is standing 2 m away from the center, how much force is required to balance the board at the other end? F1 F2 Support (fulcrum)

  8. Clicker! A force of 5N is applied downward 0.3m to the left of the fulcrum. Where would one exert a force of 1 N downward to balance the the stick? 5N (1) 0.2m to the left (2) 0.2m to the right (3) 1.5 m to the left (4) 1.5 m to the right 0.3 m Support (fulcrum) Στ = 0 (5N)(0.3m) - (1N)L = 0 L = 1.5m

  9. Clicker! A downward force of 5N is applied to a uniform bar 0.3m to the left of the fulcrum. Another force of 1 N is applied downward 1.5 m to the right of the fulcrum. How much force is applied by the fulcrum to the bar? The bar is in equilibrium. 5N 1N (1) 2 N. (2) 3 N. (3) 6 N (4) 3.5N 0.3 m 1.5 m Support (fulcrum) ΣFy = 0 F - 5N - 1N = 0 F = 6N

  10. Clicker! At which point and at which direction would the least amount of force be required to hold the lever stationary? Longest lever arm - perpendicular force

  11. Clicker! Two symmetric objects: a uniform bar and a square box.Where do you draw the weight? D A B C E • A, C, • B, D • C, E, F • B, E • A, C, D, F F

  12. Clicker! An asymmetric object. Where do you think the weight will be centered? • A • B • C • D A B C D

  13. Center of Gravity (Center of Mass) • In extended objects, the location where the weight is considered acting on it is the center of gravity. • If the object is symmetric, then the "real center“ of the object is the center of gravity. • If irregular, one can find the center of gravity using the formula: center of gravity

  15. Clicker! Roughly where is the center of gravity located? Point 1, 3, or 5 or region 2 (between 1 and 3) or 4 (between 3 and 5)?
