Force and RotationVI. TorqueVII. Center of MassCurrent Lecture- Point Masseso Object of interesto Sum the forces in order to determine accelerationo|Fnet ,G|=|NSG|−|WSG|=mGaG- Extended Bodieso Objects that cannot be described as point masseso Ex. Wheel of Fortune: It has two forces applied.- Static Equilibriumo State at which an object is at resto Zero net force- Force and Rotationo Factors that must be considered Magnitude Position Angle- Torqueoτ =r ×F|τ|=|r||F|sin θo Units: N*mo Only the tangential component of the force contributes to torqueo Forces directly toward or away from the axis of rotation does not cause torqueo Moment ArmThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. Perpendicular to the force vectoro Directions Counterclockwise = positive Clockwise = negative- Center of Masso Which placement will provide balance?o Example: Teeter-tottero For homogenous objects, this is at the geometric centero The center of mass does not necessarily have to be in/on the object Example:
