State the relation between torque and angular momentum in rotational motion. A 1.8-kg particle moves in a circle of radius 3.4 m. As you look down on the plane of its orbit, it is initially moving clockwise. If we call the clockwise direction positive, its angular momentum relative to the center of the circle varies with time according to L(t ) = 3 – 4t. Find the magnitude and direction of the torque acting on the particle.
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).
