P Top View 29. The figure above shows a rod that is fixed to a horizontal surface at pivot P. The rod is initially rotating without friction in the counterclockwise e direction. At time t, three forces of equal magnitude are applied to the rod as shown. Which of the following is true about the angular speed and direction of rotation of the rod immediately after time t ? Angular Speed Direction of Rotation (A) Decreasing (B) Decreasing (C) Increasing (D) Increasing Counterclockwise Clockwise Counterclockwise Clockwise
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).
