A 150.0 g is suspended from a hanger clamp at the position x = +15.0cm, and a hanger clamp is at position x =- 75.0 cm. If each hanger clamp has a mass m = 16.5 g, what mass must be added to negative x position in order to attain stable equilibrium? (refer to Figure below). Compute for the torque and moment of inertia. (meter stick has negligible mass) 75 cm 15cm Mass =150 g
Rigid Body
A rigid body is an object which does not change its shape or undergo any significant deformation due to an external force or movement. Mathematically speaking, the distance between any two points inside the body doesn't change in any situation.
Rigid Body Dynamics
Rigid bodies are defined as inelastic shapes with negligible deformation, giving them an unchanging center of mass. It is also generally assumed that the mass of a rigid body is uniformly distributed. This property of rigid bodies comes in handy when we deal with concepts like momentum, angular momentum, force and torque. The study of these properties – viz., force, torque, momentum, and angular momentum – of a rigid body, is collectively known as rigid body dynamics (RBD).
Pls be detailed to your answers. Show the computation of torque and inertia clearly as possible with given and formulas of course then answer?
