Introduction
Rigid Body
• Every point on the object undergoes
circular motion about the axis of
rotation.
• All parts of the object of the body
rotate through the same angle
during the same time
• The object is considered to be a
rigid body
– This means that each part of the body
is fixed in position relative to all other
parts of the body
Section 7.1
Angular Motion
• Will be described in terms of
– Angular displacement, Δθ
– Angular velocity, ω
– Angular acceleration, α
• Analogous to the main concepts in linear
motion
Section 7.1
Angular Displacement
• During time t, the
reference line moves
through angle θ
• The angle, θ, measured
in radians, is the
angular position
Arc length s
• θ (in radians) = =
Radius r
• 1 revolution = 2π rad = 360o
Section 7.1
Angular Displacement
• The angular displacement
is defined as the angle the
object rotates through
during some time interval
• (In radian,rad)
• By convention, the angular
displacement is positive if it
is counterclockwise and
negative if it is clockwise.
Section 7.1
Example 1
Ans:1.48x106 m
Average Angular Speed/Velocity
• The average angular velocity, ω, of a rotating rigid
object is the ratio of the angular displacement to the
time interval
Section 7.1
Instantaneous Angular Speed
• The instantaneous angular speed is defined as the
limit of the average speed as the time interval
approaches zero
lim ∆θ
ω≡
∆t → 0 ∆t
• Speed = positive if θ is increasing (counterclockwise)
• Speed = negative if θ is decreasing (clockwise)

Exercise 2
• SI unit: rad/s²
Section 7.1
Instantaneous Angular Acceleration
• The instantaneous angular acceleration is
defined as the limit of the average
acceleration as the time interval approaches
zero
lim ∆ω
α≡
∆t → 0 ∆t

According to Newton’s second law, a net force causes an
object to have an acceleration.
TORQUE
Torque
• Torque, τ, is the tendency of a force to rotate an
object about some axis
v v v
τ = r × F = rF sin φ = Fd
F is the force
φ is the angle the force makes with the horizontal
r is the moment arm (or lever arm) of the force
Torque
v
τ = rF sin φ

Example 10
A woman of a mass m = 55.0 kg
sits on the left end of a seesaw
– a plank of length L = 4.00 m,
pivoted in the middle.
a. Where should a man of
mass M = 75.0 kg sit if the
system is to be balanced?
b. Find the normal force
exerted by the pivot if the
plank has a mass of mpl =
12.0 kg.
