R-1Rotational MotionWe are going to consider the motion of a rigid body about a fixed axis of rotation. The angle of rotation is measured in radians: s(rads) (dimensionless)rq �Notice that for a given angle , the ratio s/r is independent of the size of the circle.Example: How many radians in 180o? Circumference C = 2 r rs = radsr rpq = =p  rads = 180o, 1 rad = 57.3o Angle of a rigid object is measured relative to some reference orientation, just like 1D position x is measured relative to some reference position (the origin).Angle  is the "rotational position". Like position x in 1D, rotationalposition  has a sign convention.Positive angles are CCW (counter-clockwise). Definition of angular velocity: d = (rad/s)dt tq Dqw � wD, (like dx xv , v dt tD� =D)units [ ]rad = swIn 1D, velocity v has a sign (+ or –) depending on direction. Likewise, for fixed-axis rotation,  has a sign convention, depending on the sense of rotation.1/18/2019 ©University of Colorado at Boulderv :(+)(–)(+) (–)srsrs =  rrx0x +x R-2More generally, when axis not fixed, we define vector angular velocity wvwith direction = the direction of the axis + "right hand rule".

The component of the force parallel to the lever arm (F||) has no effect on the rotation of the wheel.If you want to easily rotate an object about an axis, you want a large lever arm r and a large perpendicular force F:Example: Pull on a door handle a distance r = 0.8 m from the hinge with a force of magnitude F = 20 N at an angle  = 30o from the plane of the door, like so: = r F = r F sin  = (0.8 m)(20 N)(sin 30o) = 8.0 mNFor fixed axis, torque has a sign (+ or –) :Positive torque causes counter-clockwise CCW rotation.Negative torque causes clockwise (CW) rotation.If several torques are applied, the net torque causes angular acceleration: nett = t � a�Aside: Torque, like force, is a vector quantity. Torque has a direction.
