Objective:
We will apply work and energy methods to
Kinetic
Energy
Calculating rigid bodys KE when it is
subjected to
(i) translation,
(ii) rotation about a fixed axis, or
(iii) general plane motion.
Consider the rigid body shown in inertial
x-y plane. An arbitrary ith particle of
the body, having mass dm, is located
at r from the arbitrary point P.
Here I(G) is the moment of inertia for the
body about an axis which is
perpendicular to the plane of motion
and passes through the mass center.
1-Translation
When a rigid body of mass m
is subjected to either
rectilinear or translation, the
KE due to rotation is zero,
since =0
where v(G) is the magnitude
Example
variable force
constant force
weight
a spring force
1) Work of a Variable
Force
If an external force F
2) Work of a Constant
Force
If an external force F(c)
3) Work of a Weight
The weight of a body does
4) Work of a
Spring Force
If linear elastic spring is attached to a body,
rotates
2- Normal reaction acting on a body that moves along
a fixed surface.
3- Weight of a body when the center of gravity of the
body moves in a horizontal plane.
