Lagrange has incorporated his own analysis of the problem with his general treatment of mechanics, and since his time M. Poinsôt has brought the subject under the power of a more searching analysis than that of the calculus, in which ideas take the place of symbols, and intelligent propositions supersede equations. 1 James Clerk Maxwell 21.1 Introduction We shall analyze the motion of systems of particles and rigid bodies that are undergoing translational and rotational motion about a fixed direction. Because the body is translating, the axis of rotation is no longer fixed in space. We shall describe the motion by a translation of the center of mass and a rotation about the center of mass. By choosing a reference frame moving with the center of mass, we can analyze the rotational motion separately and discover that the torque about the center of mass is equal to the change in the angular momentum about the center of mass. For a rigid body undergoing fixed axis rotation about the center of mass, our rotational equation of motion is similar to one we have already encountered for fixed axis rotation, τ ext = dLs pin / dt . cm cm 21.2 Translational Equation of Motion We shall think about the system of particles as follows. We treat the whole system as a single point-like particle of mass m located at the center of mass moving with the T velocity of the center of mass V . The external force acting on the system acts at the cm center of mass and from our earlier result (Eq. 10.4.9) we have that ext dpsys d F = = (mT Vcm ) . (21.2.1) dt dt 21.3 Translational and Rotational Equations of Motion For a system of particles, the torque about a point S can be written as 1 J. C. Maxwell on Louis Poinsôt (1777-1859) in 'On a Dynamical Top' (1857). In W. D. Niven (ed.), The Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell (1890), Vol. 1, 248. 21-1 N ext ( r F ) . (21.3.1) τ S = ∑ i × i i=1 where we have assumed that all internal torques cancel in pairs. Let choose the point S to be the origin of the reference frame O , then r = R (Figure 21.1). (You may want S ,cm cm to recall the main properties of the center of mass reference frame by reviewing Chapter 15.2.1.) ith particle Fi rcm, i rS ,i cm rS ,cm S Figure 21.1 Torque diagram for center of mass reference frame ! ! ! We can now apply rS , i= r S , cm + rcm,i to Eq. (21.3.1) yielding N N N N ! ext ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ( r F ) (( r r ) F ) ( r F ) ( r F ) . (21.3.2) τ S = ∑ S , i × i = ∑ cm,i + cm,i× i = ∑ S ,cm × i + ∑ cm,i × i i=1 i=1 i=1 i=1 The term ! ext ! ! ext τ = r × F (21.3.3) S ,cm S ,cm in Eq. (21.3.2) corresponds to the external torque about the point S where all the external forces act at the center of mass (Figure 21.2). Fext ext S ,cm cm rS ,cm S Figure 21.2 Torque diagram for “point-like” particle located at center of mass The term, N ext ( r F ) . (21.3.4) τcm = ∑ cm,i × i i=1 21-2 is the sum of the torques on the individual particles in the center of mass reference frame. If we assume that all internal torques cancel in pairs, then N ext ext ( r F ) . (21.3.5) τcm = ∑ cm,i × i i=1 We conclude that the external torque about the point S can be decomposed into two pieces, ext ext ext τ S = τ S ,cm + τ cm . (21.3.6) We showed in Chapter 20.3 that N sys sys L = r p + ( r m v ) , (21.3.7) S S ,cm × ∑ cm,i × i cm,i i=1 where the first term in Eq. (21.3.7) is the orbital angular momentum of the center of mass about the point S orbital sys LS = rS ,cm × p , (21.3.8) and the second term in Eq. (21.3.7) is the spin angular momentum about the center of mass (independent of the point S ) N spin L ( r m v ) . (21.3.9) S = ∑ cm,i × i cm,i i=1 The angular momentum about the point S can therefore be decomposed into two terms sys orbital spin LS = L S + LS . (21.3.10) Recall that that we have previously shown that it is always true that sys ext dLS τ S = . (21.3.11) dt Therefore we can therefore substitute Eq. (21.3.6) on the LHS of Eq. (21.3.11) and substitute Eq. (21.3.10) on the RHS of Eq. (21.3.11) yielding as orbital spin ext ext dL S dLS τ S ,cm + τ cm = + . (21.3.12) dt dt 21-3 We shall now show that Eq. (21.3.12) can also be decomposed in two separate conditions. We begin by analyzing the first term on the RHS of Eq. (21.3.12). We differentiate Eq. (21.3.8) and find that orbital dLS d sys = ( rS , cm × p ). (21.3.13) dt dt We apply the vector identity d d A d B ( A × B ) = × B + A × , (21.3.14) dt dt dt to Eq. (21.3.13) yielding orbital dr dp d LS S ,cm sys = × psys + rS ,cm × . (21.3.15) dt dt dt The first term in Eq. (21.3.21) is zero because drS ,cm total × psys = V cm × m Vcm = 0 . (21.3.16) dt Therefore the time derivative of the orbital angular momentum about a point S , Eq. (21.3.15), becomes orbital dp dLS sys = r S ,cm × . (21.3.17) dt dt In Eq. (21.3.17), the time derivative of the momentum of the system is the external force, dp Fext = sys . (21.3.18) dt The expression in Eq. (21.3.17) then becomes the first of our relations orbital dLS ext ext = rS ,cm × F = τ S ,cm . (21.3.19) dt Thus the time derivative of the orbital angular momentum about the point S is equal to the external torque about the point S where all the external forces act at the center of mass, (we treat the system as a point-like particle located at the center of mass). We now consider the second term on the RHS of Eq. (21.3.12), the time derivative of the spin angular momentum about the center of mass. We differentiate Eq. (21.3.9), 21-4 spin dL d N S = ( r × m v ) . (21.3.20) dt dt ∑ cm,i i cm,i i=1 We again use the product rule for taking the time derivatives of a vector product (Eq. (21.3.14)). Then Eq. (21.3.20) the becomes spin N N dL ⎛ drcm ,i ⎞ ⎛ d ⎞ S m v r (m v ) . (21.3.21) = ∑ ⎜ × i cm,i ⎟ + ∑ ⎜ cm,i × i cm,i ⎟ dt i=1 ⎝ dt ⎠ i=1 ⎝ dt ⎠ The first term in Eq. (21.3.21) is zero because N N ⎛ drcm,i ⎞ m v = ( v m v ) = 0 . (21.3.22) ∑ ⎜ × i cm,i ⎟ ∑ cm,i × i cm,i i=1 ⎝ dt ⎠ i=1 Therefore the time derivative of the spin angular momentum about the center of mass, Eq. (21.3.21), becomes spin N dLS ⎛ d ⎞ = rcm ,i × (mi vcm,i ) . (21.3.23) dt ∑⎝⎜ dt ⎠⎟ i=1 The force, acting on an element of mass m , is i d F = (m v ) . (21.3.24) i dt i cm,i The expression in Eq. (21.3.23) then becomes spin dL N S = ( r × F ) . (21.3.25) dt ∑ cm,i i i=1 N The term, (r F ) , is the sum of the torques on the individual particles in the center ∑ cm,i× i i=1 of mass reference frame. If we again assume that all internal torques cancel in pairs, Eq. (21.3.25) may be expressed as spin N N dL ext ext ext S = ( r × F ) = τ= τ , (21.3.26) dt ∑ cm,i i ∑ cm,i cm i=1 i=1 which is the second of our two relations. 21-5 21.3.1 Summary For a system of particles, there are two conditions that always hold (Eqs. (21.3.19) and (21.3.26)) when we calculate the torque about a point S ; we treat the system as a point- ext like particle located at the center of mass of the system.

Consider the motion of a uniform disk rotat­ ing about a fixed axis passing through its center of gravity C perpendicular to the face of the disk, as shown in Figure 11-1. The motion of this disk may be de­ scribed in terms of the motions of each of its individual particles, but a better way to describe the motion is in terms of the angle through which the disk rotates.

  • Euler and the Dynamics of Rigid Bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps
    Euler and the dynamics of rigid bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps Abstract. After presenting in contemporary terms an outline of the kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles, with emphasis in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, we will consider briefly the main points of the historical unfolding that produced this understanding and, in particular, the decisive role played by Euler. In our presentation the main role is not played by inertial (or Galilean) observers, but rather by observers that are allowed to move in an arbitrary (smooth, non-relativistic) way. 0. Notations and conventions The material in sections 0-6 of this paper is an adaptation of parts of the Mechanics chapter of XAMBÓ-2007. The mathematical language used is rather standard. The read- er will need a basic knowledge of linear algebra, of Euclidean geometry (see, for exam- ple, XAMBÓ-2001) and of basic calculus. 0.1. If we select an origin in Euclidean 3-space , each point can be specified by a vector , where is the Euclidean vector space associated with . This sets up a one-to-one correspondence between points and vectors . The inverse map is usually denoted . Usually we will speak of “the point ”, instead of “the point ”, implying that some point has been chosen as an origin. Only when conditions on this origin become re- levant will we be more specific. From now on, as it is fitting to a mechanics context, any origin considered will be called an observer. When points are assumed to be moving with time, their movement will be assumed to be smooth.

  • Kinematics, Kinetics, Dynamics, Inertia Kinematics Is a Branch of Classical
    Course: PGPathshala-Biophysics Paper 1:Foundations of Bio-Physics Module 22: Kinematics, kinetics, dynamics, inertia Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics in physics in which one learns about the properties of motion such as position, velocity, acceleration, etc. of bodies or particles without considering the causes or the driving forces behindthem. Since in kinematics, we are interested in study of pure motion only, we generally ignore the dimensions, shapes or sizes of objects under study and hence treat them like point objects. On the other hand, kinetics deals with physics of the states of the system, causes of motion or the driving forces and reactions of the system. In a particular state, namely, the equilibrium state of the system under study, the systems can either be at rest or moving with a time-dependent velocity. The kinetics of the prior, i.e., of a system at rest is studied in statics. Similarly, the kinetics of the later, i.e., of a body moving with a velocity is called dynamics. Introduction Classical mechanics describes the area of physics most familiar to us that of the motion of macroscopic objects, from football to planets and car race to falling from space. NASCAR engineers are great fanatics of this branch of physics because they have to determine performance of cars before races. Geologists use kinematics, a subarea of classical mechanics, to study ‘tectonic-plate’ motion. Even medical researchers require this physics to map the blood flow through a patient when diagnosing partially closed artery. And so on. These are just a few of the examples which are more than enough to tell us about the importance of the science of motion.
